Queen’s has 18 unique residence buildings across our main and west campuses, built between 1925 and 2022. Each building varies in size, layout, and room furnishings. Design elements such as flooring type, window sizes and window coverings, and storage solutions change from room to room.
We offer six room configurations and four bathroom types, providing options to suit your preferences. Room and washroom types vary by building; a building may contain more than one type of room and washroom.
Multi-occupancy rooms are designated based on the number of bed spaces in the room and do not guarantee additional amenities such as communal space, washrooms, or kitchenettes.
Food preparation areas and appliances provided in residence are for occasional and communal needs only and are not designed to provide regular meal preparation for individual students.
