History
The institution was founded in 1867 by the Methodist Church as Centenary Collegiate Institute, offering education to young men and women at that time. In 1910, the focus shifted to a women's college before coeducational university status returned during the 1970s.

Access to the grounds is available through several entrances, with the main administration building and library serving as orientation points. Most buildings are open to walk through during daytime hours, though activity peaks during lecture periods.
