South Residence
South Residence is the largest residence complex in Canada, with three connected sections: Mountain Hall, Prairie Hall, and Maritime Hall. Designed by Australian architect John Andrews, each hall has four wings, with each wing comprised of three six-storey vertical sections called houses. The small alcoves and numerous lounges foster tight-knit communities where students develop close friendships.
