The University of New Brunswick (UNB) is split into two primary campuses: the main campus, UNB Fredericton (UNBF), in [[Fredericton]], as well as the smaller campus, UNB Saint John (UNBSJ), which is in the [[Millidgeville]] area of [[Saint John, New Brunswick|New Brunswick]], next to the [[Saint John Regional Hospital]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Ontario Scholarships – The University of New Brunswick |url=https://ontarioscholarships.ca/university/2/the-university-of-new-brunswick.php |website=ontarioscholarships.ca |access-date=September 7, 2023 |archive-date=September 23, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230923170522/https://ontarioscholarships.ca/university/2/the-university-of-new-brunswick.php |url-status=live }}</ref>

As of the 2021–2022 academic year, UNB Fredericton (UNBF) had an enrollment of 7,580, while UNB Saint John had an enrollment of 2,145.<ref>{{cite web |title=Table 1: Total Enrolment by Province, Institution and Registration Status, 2017–2018 to 2021–2022 |url=http://www.mphec.ca/media/215535/Table1_Enrolment_2021-2022.pdf |website=mphec.ca |access-date=September 7, 2023 |archive-date=September 23, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230923170519/http://www.mphec.ca/media/215535/Table1_Enrolment_2021-2022.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> Both campuses have undergone significant expansion over the years, and many university buildings have received funding from Lord Beaverbrook and other prominent industrialists and philanthropists. UNB's largest expansion coincided with the [[Post–World War II baby boom|baby boom]], when its Fredericton campus tripled in size.

===Fredericton===
The UNB Fredericton campus is on a hill overlooking the [[Saint John River (Bay of Fundy)|Saint John River]]. The campus is well known for its colourful fall foliage, Georgian style red-brick buildings,<ref>{{cite journal |title=University of New Brunswick: student life on campus |first=Brad |last=Ackerson |journal=Maclean's |date=March 27, 2019 |url=https://macleans.ca/education/university/university-of-new-brunswick-student-life-on-campus/ |access-date=September 12, 2023 |archive-date=September 18, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230918214149/https://macleans.ca/education/university/university-of-new-brunswick-student-life-on-campus/ |url-status=live }}</ref> and a very steep hill.<ref>{{cite journal |title=University of New Brunswick 411: The best campus food and more |author=Maclean's |journal=Maclean's |date=November 22, 2016 |url=https://macleans.ca/education/university/university-of-new-brunswick-411-the-best-campus-food-and-more/ |access-date=September 12, 2023 |archive-date=September 23, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230923171032/https://macleans.ca/education/university/university-of-new-brunswick-411-the-best-campus-food-and-more/ |url-status=live }}</ref> UNB Fredericton has shared the "College Hill" with [[St. Thomas University (New Brunswick)|St. Thomas University]] (STU) since 1964, when the former St. Thomas College moved from Chatham, NB (now [[Miramichi, New Brunswick|Miramichi]]). While the universities share some infrastructure, they remain separate institutions.

The UNB Saint John campus (UNBSJ) is in Tucker Park in the [[Millidgeville, New Brunswick|Millidgeville]] neighbourhood, several kilometres north of the city's central business district, and has views of the [[Kennebecasis River]] and [[Grand Bay-Westfield]]. New Brunswick's largest health care facility, [[Saint John Regional Hospital]], is adjacent to the UNBSJ campus.

Aside from UNB's own facilities, the Saint John campus houses Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick for [[Dalhousie University]], as well as the Gerald S Merrithew Allied Health Education Centre for the [[New Brunswick Community College]].

Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick, which opened in the fall of 2010, is a [[medical school]] built with provincial funding that operates as a partnership between the [[Government of New Brunswick]],<ref>{{cite news |last1=Southwick |first1=Reid |title=$5M kicked in for university's labs |url=https://da.tj.news/viewer?opub=Telegraph-Journal&date=20100821&page=13&filename=TelegraphJournal_20100821_20100821_TJ_B_01 |access-date=September 8, 2023 |work=[[Telegraph-Journal]] |date=August 21, 2010 |archive-date=September 8, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230908194141/https://da.tj.news/viewer?opub=Telegraph-Journal&date=20100821&page=13&filename=TelegraphJournal_20100821_20100821_TJ_B_01 |url-status=live }}</ref> the University of New Brunswick and Dalhousie University’s Faculty of Medicine.<ref>{{cite web |title=About |url=https://medicine.dal.ca/departments/core-units/DMNB/about.html |website=Dalhousie University |access-date=September 8, 2023 |language=en |archive-date=September 23, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230923171022/https://medicine.dal.ca/departments/core-units/DMNB/about.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Research laboratories added to Dalhousie medicine program |url=http://www.labcanada.com/laboratory/research-laboratories-added-to-dalhousie-medicine-program/1000383787/ |access-date=September 8, 2023 |work=Lab Canada |date=August 30, 2010 |language=en-CA |archive-date=September 23, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230923171022/http://www.labcanada.com/laboratory/research-laboratories-added-to-dalhousie-medicine-program/1000383787/ |url-status=live }}</ref> It is the first anglophone medical school program in New Brunswick,<ref name=DalhousieMedicine>{{cite news |last1=Cunningham |first1=April |title=Advanced technology links med students in city and Halifax |url=https://da.tj.news/viewer?opub=Telegraph-Journal&date=20101013&page=26&filename=TelegraphJournal_20101013_20101013_TJ_C_05 |access-date=September 8, 2023 |work=[[Telegraph-Journal]] |date=October 13, 2010 |archive-date=September 8, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230908194142/https://da.tj.news/viewer?opub=Telegraph-Journal&date=20101013&page=26&filename=TelegraphJournal_20101013_20101013_TJ_C_05 |url-status=live }}</ref> annually serving 40 students.<ref name=DalhousieMedicine/> The New Brunswick Community College's Gerald S Merrithew Allied Health Education Centre, which opened on September 1, 2011,<ref>{{cite news |last1=Government of New Brunswick |first1=Canada |title=Official opening of NBCC's Allied Health Education Centre |url=https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/post-secondary_education_training_and_labour/news/news_release.2011.09.0949.html |access-date=13 September 2023 |work=www2.gnb.ca |date=September 1, 2011 |language=en |archive-date=September 23, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230923170740/https://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/post-secondary_education_training_and_labour/news/news_release.2011.09.0949.html |url-status=live }}</ref> is near the Dalhousie Medicine New Brunswick building.<ref>{{cite news |title=NBCC health education centre opens in Saint John |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/nbcc-health-education-centre-opens-in-saint-john-1.1075190 |access-date=13 September 2023 |work=CBC News |date=September 2, 2011 |archive-date=September 23, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230923170740/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/nbcc-health-education-centre-opens-in-saint-john-1.1075190 |url-status=live }}</ref>

==== History ====
UNB's presence in Saint John dates back to 1923 when the Saint John Law School, established in 1892, became part of UNB. In 1953, the law school moved to the Starr Residence, known today as Beaverbrook House, which is still operated by UNBSJ. Eventually, after nearly forty years of remaining in Saint John, it relocated to the main campus in Fredericton.

Starting in 1951, UNB offered summer extension courses in [[Saint John High School]] and St. Vincent's Convent, which proved to be successful. This highlighted the existing demand for higher education in Saint John, which had been recognized by the city's [[Chamber of commerce|Board of Trade]] as early as 1947. In 1959, there was a growing interest in establishing a college in Saint John, and a group called "Saint John College Development Incorporated" began advocating for a postsecondary institution in the city. However, the proposal faced skepticism due to UNB's financial challenges and the perceived surplus of degree-granting institutions in New Brunswick.

During this discussion, the City of Saint John provided the site of a former 229-acre farm on Sandy Point Road. The location was deemed advantageous due to its views, services, and its position in a rapidly developing area of the city. In September 1964, Beaverbrook House reopened as a satellite campus of UNB, enrolling 100 students. Over time, UNB Saint John expanded its operations to various locations, including the Old Provincial Building, the New Brunswick Technology Institute, the Presbyterian Church Hall, the YMCA building, as well as various high schools. Faculty recruitment posed a challenge, with many commuting from Fredericton or hired from high schools.

Simultaneously, plans for a new campus on the Tucker Park site progressed, with UNB's consulting architects, Larson and Larson, tasked with preparing a concept plan. The initial construction cost was $1,350,000,<ref name=UNBSJ1>{{cite web |title=I.

In the same year, G. Forbes Elliot took the role as UNB Saint John's first principal. In 1965, the City of Saint John transferred ownership of 87 acres of land for the new campus.<ref name=UNBSJ2>{{cite news |title=History of the UNB Saint John Campus |website=The Baron |url=https://thebaron.ca/2013/09/12/history-of-unbs-saint-john-campus/ |date=September 12, 2013 |language=en-CA |access-date=June 23, 2023 |archive-date=September 23, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230923171024/https://thebaron.ca/2013/09/12/history-of-unbs-saint-john-campus/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Construction on the Tucker Park campus began in 1966, and the site officially opened in 1969, featuring Hazen Hall, Ganong Hall, and the Ward Chipman Library.

The campus expanded over the next two decades, constructing the G. Forbes Elliot Athletics Centre in 1975, the [[Canada Games Stadium]] in 1985, and the Thomas J. Condon Student Centre in 1986. Despite these developments, UNBSJ was considered a [[Commuting#Education|commuter campus]] until 1993, following the construction of the Sir James Dunn Residence. Additional buildings were constructed over subsequent years, such as the K.C.
