106 bed residence
South Tower student residence
The South Tower student residence will help to address the increasing demand for residence accommodation. The seven-storey facility is similar in design to the 126-bed residence (pictured right) and will include 84 student dorm rooms plus 22 student suites.
The building design meets a key Campus Plan direction to accommodate more floor space within a smaller building footprint, to minimize environmental impacts. The facility is targeted to meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certification level.
