If you’re in search of a spot to meet with friends, we’re got plenty of those as well, both inside – all over in the Student Life Centre, the cafeteria in Wemple Hall, and the library, to name a few – and outside, on a bench in the quad, in the gazebo hidden behind Wemple, or in the Reflection Circle.

Our beautiful campus lives on 34 acres on the edge of the Thames River. The Quad is a treed central meeting spot, with picnic tables and benches. “King’s green” isn’t just one of our colours, it’s also the name of a big, open green space across the street from the King Student Life Centre, where you can walk, relax and read under the tree canopy, and watch the dogs play. You can also explore the wooded area behind Wemple and spend quiet time with the river.
But "green spaces" aren't just an outdoor concept at King's. We are committed to protecting and sustaining our planet through a comprehensive environmental plan and our vision for a sustainable campus, which includes building environmental awareness and literacy of the campus community and continually improving our environmental performance.
