Regarding the topic at hand:

The school is notable for being the first accredited university in North America to create a Faculty of Mathematics,[5] and for having the largest co-op program in the world.[6] The school is also known for having more company spin-offs than any other Canadian university, and as such, the university has been called the "Silicon Valley of the North".[7]

Having said that, it still looks better than the CS building at most other schools.

Regarding possible job/internship opportunities:

Mike and Ophelia Lazaridis (wife) donated $33 million to the IQC, the largest single donation to UW in the university's history. The purpose of the donation was to attract world-class researchers to Waterloo and provide the necessary funds for a building and state-of the-art equipment for the ICQ.

On Tuesday, September 21, 2004, Open Text ceremonially broke ground to signal a beginning of construction for their new headquarters on the North Campus.
