New Brantford campus office and classroom space opens in One Market

One Market Renovation

The start of a new term on Laurier’s Brantford campus will bring with it office and student services location changes due to the renovation of One Market.

Some services have already moved into One Market, formerly known as Market Square, located at 1 Market St.

Laurier International has moved from its space in Dalhousie Centre to the upper level of One Market. The Laurier International team is ready to welcome a new cohort of students to the space, which includes a student lounge, an open work area, two meeting rooms, staff offices and a kitchen.

Ben Yang, director of global engagement with Laurier International, says the new space is a “global hub” for students.

“We want to make it a happening place culturally and socially, not just for international students but for all interested in global engagement and connecting with others,” says Yang.

One Market is also home to three new classrooms and one seminar room, all located on the main level, that will be open and ready for use on Sept. 4. The room numbers are OM207-1, OM207-2, OM207-3 and OM209.

Other recent Brantford campus moves include the Faculty of Social Work administrative and faculty offices relocating to the second floor of 97 Dalhousie.

Offices Moving to One Market

Administrative offices and additional student services will continue moving into the main level of One Market as the fall term progresses. Offices and services moving include:

• Dean of Students Office (currently in the Student Centre)
• Career Centre and Co-op (currently on the first floor of SC Johnson building)
• Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (currently in St. Andrew’s Community Centre)
• Accessible Learning Centre (currently in a temporary space in the former Wilkes House Recreation Centre)
• Writing and Study Skills Services (currently in Market Place)
• Academic Advising Centre (currently in the Research and Academic Centre – East)

Construction Safety
