These spaces are equipped for various learning activities, from large lectures to small group discussions, and feature technologies like projectors and audio-visual equipment.

It provides students, faculty, and staff with a wide range of resources, services, and study spaces, including online databases, print and electronic collections, computer access, and bookable study rooms. 
• Place of Worship: The Faith and Life Centre now finds its home in one of the most beautiful spaces on campus, Alphie’s Trough. Set into the escarpment, right on the Bruce Trail, the FLC is a peaceful escape from the bustle of the University campus. The Centre is a space for all students, and all student clubs – religious or otherwise. Part of the space is designated as a drop-in quiet study space, while the other half is primarily used for religious practices, i.e. prayer groups, Bible studies, and discussion groups.

• Accommodation: The University offers accommodations on campus to fit any preference. They have single and shared rooms, townhouse- or traditional-style residence buildings and a wide variety of meal plans to cater to any taste. If you would prefer to live away from campus, Brock’s Off-Campus Living office provides up-to-date listings for a wide variety of available accommodations.

• Laboratory: Brock University has a wide range of modern teaching and research laboratories across many departments, including the sciences, health sciences, and education.
