New College is located opposite Sidney Smith Hall (the Arts & Science centre), close to most classrooms and laboratories, the main university library and the Athletic Centre. The academic facilities and residences are housed together in three buildings — Wetmore Hall, Wilson Hall and 45 Willcocks Street. The residence rooms are on the upper floors, while the lower floors provide academic and social facilities, including a library with a spacious reading room and computer facilities, lecture halls, classrooms, group study and tutorial space, music practice rooms, lounges and a newly-renovated student club space. The residence also includes students from engineering, music, kinesiology and physical education. While students can enrol in any Arts & Science course or program, New College sponsors a number of innovative programs: African Studies, Caribbean Studies, Equity Studies, and Buddhism, Psychology and Mental Health. The college also houses the Human Biology program and the Women and Gender Studies Institute. This commitment to curriculum diversity is reflected in the mentoring programs, leadership, volunteering and service learning opportunities available and also in our foundational year program — New One: Learning Without Borders.
