Construction on Waterloo St.

The City of London is doing sewer expansion on Waterloo Street from Epworth Ave. to Steele St. as a result of renovations at St. Peter's Seminary. Traffic on Waterloo has been reduced to one lane for approximately three weeks. Street parking on Waterloo St. is very limited. King's administration is working to reduce the impact on students, faculty and staff.

Students, allow yourself more time to get to class during construction. Whether you take the shuttle or drive to campus, expect delays. It will take more time than usual to arrive.

Shuttle Bus Updates
  • The shuttle pick-up/drop-off location is being relocated during construction.
  • Expect delays and allow yourself more time to arrive on campus.
  • Get shuttle updates.
