Campus
Located in Canada's traditional "automotive capital" across the border from Detroit, the campus is situated near the United States and its busy port of entry to and from the United States. It is framed by the Ambassador Bridge to the west and the Detroit River to the north.
The campus covers 51 hectares (130 acres) (contiguous) and is surrounded by a residential neighborhood. The campus features a small arboretum which represents most of the species from the Carolinian forest. Campus is approximately a 10 minute drive from downtown Windsor. The CAW Student Centre has a view of the Ambassador Bridge and houses retail stores, a food court and "The Basement", the student-operated pub.
The St. Denis Centre, located at the south end of campus on College Avenue, is the major athletic and recreational facility for students; a weight room, exercise facilities and a swimming pool. The new South Campus Stadium built for the 2005 Pan-American Junior Games is beside the St. Denis Centre - which also has dressing rooms for Lancer teams - and borders Huron Church Road, the major avenue to and from the border crossing. The athletics department has become well known for Track & Field, and Men and Women's Basketball. The majority of the Lancer teams made the playoffs this year (2010) and the program continues to grow in championship titles.
