Apartment style living in new residence The Universitys newly-completed east resi- dence complex consists of self-contained apartments, each with its own cooking,lounge and washroom facilities. "When these units were planned we had four features that we felt best reflected the students needs," says Martyn Best, area director for the new complex. "These features were apartment-style living, a high degree of emphasis on single rooms, full kitchen facili- ties, and a minimum of noise. In the east residences we feel we have achieved these goals." The new units are located just east of the East Ring Road, and are connected by a walkway which passes underneath this road, and joins the pedestrian spine to the centre of the campus. Most conspicious from a dis- tance is Glengarry Hall, a 12-storey, high-rise building. But beside it are two four-storey units: Dundas Hall which is to the north, and Lanark Hall to the east. The three units, which are joined together on the main floor Lanark Hall, left, and Glengarry Hall, two buildings in the Universitys newly-completed east by a corridor and by gymnasium facilities in residence complex, stand in a landscaped setting on the highest point of land in Guelph. They the basement, have spaces for 617 students. will provide apartment space which includes cooking facilities for 617 students. The university now has, not counting married student housing, 3875 residence spaces, more than any other university in Canada. The apartments in the new complex vary in size: the smallest ones accommodate six students in four singles, and one double room, the largest provide for 12 students, 10 in single rooms and two in a double. Each apart- ment has cooking facilities, consisting of a refrigerator and a two-burner stove, plus sink and shelf space. Nearby there is a lounging area (which can be shut off from the bedrooms to reduce noise) plus several washrooms. Outdoor balconies also belong to these apart- ments and, since the east residences are built on the highest point of land in the City of Guelph, the view can sometimes be stunning. To the north is the city of Guelph; to the west is the campus (and the football field for those who wish to watch games from a distance); to the south is farmland and residential area; and to the east there is the universitys arboretum property. The individual rooms are designed so that furniture can be rearranged to suit the occu- pant. For instance, the two wardrobes can be turned upside-down so that their doors may be opened from the other side. The five sets Rooms in the east residences have, as shown in the photo, dressers and shelves that may be of drawers may be set one on top of another, rearranged at the students convenience.
