Changes to building access and parking during Homecoming on Waterloo campus

As we gear up to welcome back our alumni and celebrate our purple and gold pride during Homecoming 2022, we want to make you aware of some temporary changes to building access on the Waterloo campus and parking on city streets that begin this week until Monday Sept. 26.

In planning for the weekend, we have been working closely with the city, police, emergency response partners and our special constables to help ensure the safety of our university community and the broader community. Additional safety measures include controlled access to some of our buildings and restricted parking on streets near campus.

Key updates:

• Building entrances facing Bricker Avenue, King Street North and Albert Street will have controlled access beginning Friday, Sept. 23 at 6 p.m. to Monday, Sept. 26 at 7 a.m. Laurier community members can access buildings during controlled access hours using their OneCard.
• On street parking on Ezra Street, Bricker Avenue and Clayfield Avenue is prohibited beginning the evening of Tuesday, Sept. 20 until Monday Sept. 26 and may result in a ticket and tow at the owner’s expense.

The locations with controlled access include:

• Science Building
• Science Research
• Bricker Academic
• Schlegel Building
• Frank Peters Building
• Dr. Alvin Woods Building
• Lazaridis Hall

In addition to no parking on Ezra Street, Bricker Avenue and Clayfield Avenue until Monday Sept. 26, there is also no parking during the weekend at St. Michael Church located at 80 University Avenue West.

Day parking will be available for Homecoming guests for events on Saturday and Sunday in any of the campus core parking areas accessible from the King Street campus entrance. Students should anticipate these lots to be fuller this weekend. A reminder that if you do park on nearby city streets to make sure you read the posted parking signage as many streets have limited hours for parking.

All students are invited to join the Waterloo campus’ Homecoming weekend. Showcase your Laurier spirit and help welcome our alumni home! See the full list of Homecoming events for students.
