	Rather than taking the difficult route of placing the sword overnight in poor light conditions with a high risk of being caught using loud tools, the sword was transported to Waterloo in the early afternoon of March 30, 2012. Upon arrival, the truck was driven to the front of the engineering building and U of T engineers disguised as a construction crew proceeded to offload and install the sword beside Carl Pollock Hall in broad daylight. The installation of the sword was completed within the span of one hour.

'''The Sword in the Stone at Waterloo''' was a smaller version of the [[Sword in the Stone]] in the [[Galbraith Garden]] that was installed in front of Carl Pollock Hall at the University of Waterloo.

==Waterloo Sword in the Stone==
After the success of a [[Sword in the Stone at McMaster (2011) | similar prank pulled at McMaster University]] in the previous year, it was decided that Waterloo deserved similar treatment.

==Construction==
The construction of the sword was very similar to that of [[Sword in the Stone at McMaster (2011) | the McMaster version]], except the concrete base was imprinted with a crest of the BFC.

===Installation===
Rather than taking the difficult route of placing the sword overnight in poor light conditions with a high risk of being caught using loud tools, the sword was transported to Waterloo in the early afternoon of March 30, 2012. Upon arrival, the truck was driven to the front of the engineering building and U of T engineers disguised as a construction crew proceeded to offload and install the sword beside Carl Pollock Hall in broad daylight. The installation of the sword was completed within the span of one hour.
