Stressing about the location of your classroom on the first day of lectures is not a good feeling. Although Laurier is known for its small campus size, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with campus before your first class.
First things first, find out your detailed course information. Log in to LORIS, and select Registration > View Registration Information, then select your term from the dropdown.
This view provides you with your detailed course schedule, outlining essential information including: day(s), time, building, and classroom location.
Now that you have your course information, you can find the building location using Laurier’s interactive maps. The maps allow you to customize your campus search to help you get where you’re going. Select “Lecture Halls and Classrooms” and click on a building to receive a visual aid alongside the location.
There are a lot of short forms and it can make finding your way challenging. Here are some frequently used abbreviations.
Now that you’ve found the building, you’ll have to find your classroom. The first numeral in a classroom listing indicates the building floor. If your classroom listing is DAWB 2-108, your classroom is located on the second floor of the Dr. Alvin Woods Building, room 108. In other cases, there is no dash, but the first digit still refers to the floor. For example, if your classroom listing is BA429, your classroom is located in the Bricker Academic Building on the fourth floor, room 429.
Take the time to find your classroom prior to the first day of lectures – it’s worth it. Not only will you alleviate stress by knowing exactly where you’re going, a prior visit allows you to determine how long the trek is from your residence so you can arrive on time. Going in advance also allows you to scope out the nearest food sources, restrooms, and water fountains.
The first day of lectures should be exciting, not stressful. Familiarize yourself with Laurier’s campus and effortlessly find your classes.
