University of Winnipeg

Founded in 1867 the University of Winnipeg (guided tours) enjoys something of a liberal reputation. The oldest building on campus dates from 1894. Also noteworthy are the Western Canada Pictorial Index, an archive of some 45,000 old photographs, and the splendid new Athletics Center, a facility used by top athletes.

Tours of the University of Winnipeg are available and are worthwhile to view the widely varying architecture. Home to almost 9000 students, the University of Winnipeg is also well known for its strong volleyball teams which consistently finish in the top of the rankings. Located right downtown and near the Winnipeg Art Gallery, the University of Winnipeg should be on every visitors itinerary.
