Conrad Grebel University College

Conrad Grebel University College is a residential college on the University of Waterloo campus housing around 170 students. The facility includes classrooms, a library, and a center focused on research and work in peacebuilding.

The college was founded in 1963 when Mennonite churches established a new educational project. In 2004 it gained official recognition as a university college, formalizing its academic status.

The college reflects Mennonite roots in how it operates and what students discuss daily. You notice this heritage in spaces where conversations about justice and living together happen regularly.

The college is easily reached on foot from the main campus and sits centrally within the grounds. The buildings are generally open to visitors when you interact respectfully with residents.

The Milton Good Library holds one of the largest collections on Mennonite history outside specialized research centers. This collection draws scholars studying religious history and peace work.
