Science Teaching Complex (STC)

Awesome place to study especially with the Starbucks. The classrooms are also top notch.

Amazing. Came for my son and I learned so much myself. Loved the projects. Science is cool

One of the best buildings in University of Waterloo Campus.

Nah Nah

Surrounded by existing bland academic buildings, the Science Teaching Complex is an exciting addition to campus. Handsome and bold, this new space attempts to decompose the complex task of teaching science. Playful yet disciplined, the atrium weaves circulation patterns to connect the facility's functions and users. Its expressive and articulated levels promote social interaction to dampen robotizing aspects of academia. Collisions between glass and brick structures form a strong juxtaposition that reflects the labyrinthine of real struggles typical science students face. Large glass volumes allow natural light to flood the basement level, making a convincing metaphoric ray of hope for the hopeless.

Quizzes are hard here and the proctor does not allow you to watch Khan Academy. Not recommended

Why are your elevators so slow

Don't go to this school if you're applying from the US. You're not allowed to register for courses until after the locals have finished. So you won't be able to take the classes you want because many will be full by then.
