Located in Canada's traditional "automotive capital" across the border from [[Detroit]], the campus is near the United States and its busy port of entry to and from the United States. It is framed by the [[Ambassador Bridge]] to the west and the [[Detroit River]] to the north.

The campus covers {{convert|51|ha|acre}} (contiguous) and is surrounded by a residential neighborhood. The campus features a small [[arboretum]], which represents most of the species from the [[Carolinian forest]]. Campus is approximately a 10-minute drive from downtown Windsor. The university has moved some academic programs to the downtown core, including Social Work, the Executive and Professional Education program, Music and Fine Arts. Due to its historical roots in multiple religious institutions, the university's campus has many examples of Christian architecture in addition to its modern flagship buildings like the $10-million dollar Joyce Entrepreneurship Centre.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |title=Innovation Centre renamed Joyce Entrepreneurship Centre |language=en-US |publisher=University of Windsor - EPICentre |url=http://www.epicentreuwindsor.ca/innovation-centre-renamed-joyce-entrepreneurship-centre/ |url-status=live |access-date=2017-12-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230417124715/http://www.epicentreuwindsor.ca/innovation-centre-renamed-joyce-entrepreneurship-centre/ |archive-date=17 April 2023}}</ref>

The CAW Student Centre is the main, comprehensive centre servicing all student needs. It houses a large food court and the main campus bookstore. Also within the CAW Centre: Student Health Services, a dental office, counselling services, a photographer, a pharmacy, the University of Windsor Students' Alliance (UWSA), a Multi-Faith Space, the campus community radio station [[CJAM-FM]], and an information desk. A large public area beside the food court is available for clubs and informational booths to be set up on certain days. For example, during October there is a period where many Canadian law schools set up booths with representatives who answer questions and provide information to undergraduate students.

The St. Denis Centre, at the south end of campus on College Avenue, is the major athletic and recreational facility for students. It has a weight room, exercise facilities, and a swimming pool. The South Campus Stadium built for the 2005 [[Pan American Games|Pan American Junior Games]] is beside the St. Denis Centre - which also has dressing rooms for Lancer teams - and borders Huron Church Road, the major avenue to and from the border crossing.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Alumni Field |url=https://golancers.ca/sports/2020/11/20/alumni-field |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231101205914/https://golancers.ca/sports/2020/11/20/alumni-field |archive-date=1 November 2023 |access-date=1 January 2024 |website= |publisher=University of Windsor - Windsor Lancers |language=en}}</ref> The athletics department has become well known for Track & Field, and Men and Women's Basketball.{{By whom|date=April 2022}}

Beyond first-year students are typically not assigned to the same suite as first-year students.
