The Faculty is housed mainly within three buildings on the Fort Garry campus, although there are research labs, staff and facilities located at the Bannatyne Campus, which is located in the heart of Winnipeg. The information provided below focuses on the Fort Garry buildings and offices.
Since our buildings are distinct, large and located on what are often considered the entry points to the university via University Crescent and Chancellor Matheson Drive, most visitors find it is relatively simple to find us.
Taking the bus is the easiest way to get to campus, and as a U of M student, you can get a discount on your monthly bus pass at Answers Information Booth located on the main floor of University Centre. The main bus stop area is right beside the Tier Building. The following Winnipeg Transit buses come to the Fort Garry Campus:
