About Us:

The University of Waterloo celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2007, harking back to the first applied science classes offered starting July 1, 1957, by the temporary “Waterloo College Associate Faculties.” Gerald Hagey (left), president of the Lutheran-affiliated Waterloo College, had enlisted support from business leaders in Kitchener-Waterloo, a modest industrial city in midwestern Ontario: they would create a program to train engineers and technicians who were desperately needed for Canada’s growing postwar economy.

The cold war, the space race, and medical and scientific progress presented new needs for trained manpower and technical knowledge. For Hagey and his colleagues, the solution was not just classroom instruction but “the co-operative program,” which offered students alternating terms of paid work in industry to get practical experience. By the time that first class of engineers graduated in 1962, the Associate Faculties had become the University of Waterloo, and its board of governors, led by business veterans such as Ira Needles, had taken the ambitious step of buying a 237-acre parcel of farmland on the edge of Waterloo to build a new campus. (Subsequent purchases would expand the total campus to about 1,000 acres, or 400 hectares.) 

The first building, dedicated to chemical engineering and chemistry (right, next to Schweitzer farmstead), opened in 1958, with a “physics and mathematics” building coming in 1959 and the first arts building in 1962. As low-rise brick structures were built, they began to define a series of quadrangles in which the founders were confident that academic life would flourish.
