Sir Wilfred Grenfell College

Grenfell Campus, formerly referred to as Sir Wilfred Grenfell College, is a Canadian liberal arts and science university located in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador. It is the west coast campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland. There are approximately 1,300 students enrolled in degree programs for the arts, fine arts, science and nursing. Many students from around the province also attend the school for the first- and second-year course offerings before transferring to Memorial University's larger campus in St. John's. The college opened in 1975 as Memorial University of... Newfoundland's West Coast Regional College with Dr. Arthur Sullivan as its principal. The facility was renamed in 1979 in honour of British medical missionary pioneer Wilfred Grenfell. The original building is now the Arts and Science Building. In 1988, the campus' second building opened - the Fine Arts Building. Grenfell Campus saw significant expansion in the 1990s and early 2000s with new student housing and academic buildings constructed. In 1995, the Library and Computing Building opened; and in 1997, the Student Centre annex was added to the Arts and Science Building.
