Queen's is one of Canada's leading universities, with an international reputation for scholarship, social purpose, spirit and diversity.
The Queen's experience owes everything to great teaching, resources, spirit and tradition, community, and the learning that occurs outside of the classroom. Queen's is a campus with a global reputation in the heart of a vibrant community, a university that can bring out the best inside of you.
It takes a wide range of resources to feed an active-mind. Inspiration knows no bounds, so neither do our resources.
Let's start with one of the biggest: our libraries. Queen's six main libraries house over 2.3 million volumes, plus almost 4 million other non-book items such as videos, maps, and artifacts. It's all indexed and accessible by computer, so you can browse the stacks from your residence room or read one of our 14,000 electronic journals on your laptop while enjoying a caramel macchiato at the Common Ground.
From the multimillion dollar chemistry lab at Chernoff Hall to the digitally-wired Commerce building at Goodes Hall and to the fully-functional healthcare facilities at the Glaxo Wellcome Clinical Education Centre, our research labs and facilities are among the world's finest and most modern.
Not so modern is the Rembrandt (one of only four in Canada) and other masterworks by Canadian and international artists, housed at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre.
Our learning resources also extend far beyond our campus proper to our new biodiversity centre on Lake Opinicon , just north of Kingston, to the world's first heavy-water neutrino observatory, located in Sudbury, Ontario, to Queen's International Study Centre at Herstmonceux Castle, East Sussex, England, and to Queen's School of Business business school facility in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
