As of January 2010, the Sociolinguistics and Language Variation and Change Lab is located in the basement of Sidney Smith Hall in room 576. The lab houses the Directions of Change corpus, the Toronto English Corpus, the York English Corpus, the Roots Corpus, and the KIDS Corpus in both analog and digital formats. It is also home to the Heritage Language Variation & Change in Toronto Project (HLVC).

Since 2002, a large body of research has been produced by both graduate and undergraduate students.
