Level One Lounge in Brantford

 

The Level One Lounge (L1) is one of the only exclusively social spaces dedicated to students on the Brantford Campus. L1 is located on the first level (basement) of One Market, OM116.

The L1 is the perfect place to relax after a hard midterm, collaborate with a group on a project, or best your friends in a competitive match.

The goal of the L1 is to provide a place for Laurier students to spend time with friends as well as meet new ones by providing a casual and relaxed environment.

Follow us on Instagram, @Laurierl1 for updates on events, contests and more.

Looking to book some space for your amazing club event? Or a karaoke class social? Do that and more in the L1 Lounge! Fill out our booking form and we will get back to you within a few business days. 

Note: bookings in the space are for a portion of the shared space, meaning other students and Laurier community members can enter and be present in the space during your event. If you believe your event requires exclusive access, fill out the form and email tbritz@wlu.ca. 

You can also book out your favourite individual table and video games, days or even weeks in advance to make sure it is free when you want it. This system is invaluable in making sure you get to play when you want to play.

Rules and Guidelines

  • The L1 Lounge is not a quiet space due to its social nature. We expect people to have fun at varying volumes. Students are still expected to behave with respect for others and abide by the Non-Academic Student Code of Conduct.
  • We expect all attendees to respect the property of the space. If something is broken or goes missing the student using the equipment at the time will be held responsible under 6.01.05 a-d.
  • Respect the booking system. Drop-ins are welcome and encourages, but students with bookings have priority on games/devices.

Acknowledgements

The L1 was only made possible through a generous donation from the Student Life Levy. We extend a gracious thanks to all the undergraduate students that funded the project through the years!

Suggestion Box

This is a space for students and we want it shaped by students. 

Have an idea for something that needs to go in the lounge, or a game that we absolutely need to get for the consoles? Drop us an email at tbritz@wlu.ca.
