General University Area Updates and Rumours

[MacBerry]

It's still my dream for UWaterloo and Laurier to work together to build a proper Convocation Hall.

Convocation in a Gymnasium is... undignified.

Don't you think that would cause a lot of interference? if they shared a hall.

Laurier used to hold Convocation at The Memorial Auditorium in the late 70s and early 80s.

Not sure when they went to the gymnasium as the venue where it is held now.

I think a shared Convocation Hall would be good for both universities. The buildings are more than just convocation places. They fit about 1200+ students for introductory psychology into one classroom (Convocation Hall) and repeat several times a day.

The University of Toronto has no "interference" issues or scheduling problems and they have 64,000+ students on the main downtown campus while the suburban campuses Mississauga and Scarborough have their own convocations on their campuses.
