Re-opening of residences

We will experience a very healthy incoming class this September, and we need to expand our residence capacity above that of the previous few years.

To this end, we are indeed very fortunate to be in the position to re-open the Bermuda and Pavillon Bousquet (locally known as "The Monastery") residences this fall, in order to accommodate the incoming class.

Each residence will house 26 students and will have its own unique character. We are pleased that Bermuda House will serve as the Global Village residence for this year, which is joint initiative of Residence Life and International Affairs.

This will see students actively engaged in the President's Speaker Series on International Engagement, as well with other programming to promote internationalization on our campus. Pavillon Bousquet residents will also be involved in establishing an original residence life program for their house.

Construction and renovation work has begun on these buildings to prepare them for the upcoming academic year.
