Village One, also known as simply V1, is a residence at the University of Waterloo in the city of Waterloo, Canada. Village One is a traditional-style residence and is one of the largest on the campus, housing over one thousand students.

Layout
Village One has a central complex containing the cafeteria, front desk, study areas, laundry facilities and recreational areas. The recreational areas have two pool tables, two Ping-Pong tables, a piano, and a large screen television. The front desk offers students with a number of services including key replacement and tech support, as well as allowing students to sign out a large variety of board games.

Village One is made up of 26 houses, split into four quads. Each quad contains six to eight houses. Each house has four floors, with 14 – 16 people living on each floor. Houses are co-ed but floors and bathrooms are single sex only, with one bathroom per floor. Each house has a lounge on the ground floor with a television and couches as well as storage cabinets and a refrigerator and freezer. Each house has one don to plan events, support the residents and enforce residence policies.

Room
There are three types of rooms in V1. The first and most common type is the single room. This type of room houses one person and contains one single bed, a desk, shelves, and cupboard space. In addition, one of the walls is covered by cork board to allow the resident to attach pictures and posters.

The second type of room is the interconnecting room. Interconnecting rooms are a set of two rooms where one room has a door to the hall and the other room connects to that room through a door in the wall. The room attached directly to hall is called the outer room, while the other room is called the inner room. The layout of each room is very similar to that of a single room.

The final room type is the double room. This kind of room houses two people in the same shared space, and it is equipped with two single beds, two desks, and some storage space.

Food
The Village One cafeteria was recently renovated in the summer of 2012. It contains a sandwich bar, a pizza counter, a pasta bar, a wrap station, and smoothie bar, in addition to other hot and cold food. As the students at Village One are not provided with cooking facilities, their primary source of food is the cafeteria. Students can pay for food by means of a prepaid meal plan or use actual money.

Chant
Every year a chant is created for the residents of Village One to display the spirit they hold for their residence. In 2012, the words to the chant are as follows (volume increases as the chant progresses):

YOVO! V1, V1!

YOVO! V1, V1!

YOVO! V1, V1!

You only village once!
