Campus Development

UWinnipeg has embarked on a very ambitious campus and community redevelopment plan.  Most recently, we've opened the Richardson College for the Environment and Science Complex and The Anx, where you'll find the largest bookstore in downtown.  Our new Field House and Health and Wellness Complex, under construction on Spence Street, will house a large indoor green space for soccer and other sports, as well as a new track, gym, dance/yoga studio, athletic therapy clinic, medical clinic, and parking. 
For more information, see Campus Development

Portage Commons

Our Portage Commons, right in front of Wesley Hall, our castle looking building, boasts over 40 per cent more green space. For student leisure and recreation we have a basketball court, front lawn, walkways, and a rose garden which gives the university community a place to enjoy the outdoors. Portage Commons provides year-round opportunities for students and members of the surrounding community.

Spence Street

Our Spence Street mall offers a welcoming community pedestrian mall. The street once a busy roadway is now the site of many campus activities where students and our university community gather to participate in activities such "O" week, campus events and Convocation. The street is now calm of traffic, and has transformed into a people-friendly, green-friendly and bustling hub.

Student Central

Student Central is your one-stop student services hub.  Throughout your time as a student, from admission to graduation and beyond, the friendly staff at Student Central are here for you.  We can help you apply to the University, access registration materials, get directions and campus maps, pay your tuition, apply for awards and financial aid, obtain your locker and student photo ID, and complete many other transactions (e.g. transcripts, confirmation of enrolment letters and letters of permission).

Student Services Hubs

A wide range of student services are located in two hubs on campus:  Centennial Hub and Ashdown Hub.  These services include Admissions, Awards and Financial Aid, Academic Advising, and Student Recruitment, to name just a few!   For a complete listing, see Student Services.

Aboriginal Student Services Centre (ASSC)

The University of Winnipeg Aboriginal Student Services Centre offers a variety of student services including the Transition Year Program (TYP) for first year aboriginal (First Nations, Métis, Inuit) students. You can access the ASSC for everything from high school visits to admissions, advising, counselling, and registration.

Accessibility Services

Accessibility Services (AS) and the Accessibility Resource Centre (ARC) facilitate and promote the ongoing development of an accessible learning environment, which provides students with disabilities the opportunity to participate fully in all aspects of campus life. 

Bulman Students' Centre

Bulman Students' Centre is a great student hangout. Here, you’ll find the University of Winnipeg Students’ Association (UWSA) offices, student groups and other associations, as well as the Petrified Sole used bookstore. The lounge is a relaxing space for students with a pool table, arcade games and couches.
