Research Facilities
The Faculty of Science is headquartered in the Waterloo campus's Science Building, which boasts state-of-the-art labs, equipment, and software. The adjacent Science Research Centre is where much of the faculty's cutting-edge research is done. A significant portion of the faculty's research is also carried out at the Northdale Campus on Hickory St. W., Waterloo, and the Centre for Cold Regions and Water Science (CCRWS), a collaborative research facility that houses a variety of state-of-the-art analytical equipment. Before working in a lab, be sure to follow lab safety instructions, including undergoing the proper training.
