South Residence
South Residence is divided into three halls – Mountain, Prairie, and Maritime.
Each Hall is divided into four communities:
Mountain Hall Communities: Valley, Foothills, Woodlands, and Glacier
Prairie Hall Communities: Horizon, Grasslands, Homestead, and Tundra
Maritime Hall Communities: Cove, Seaway, Harbour and Schooner
Each community is divided into Three Towers. Towers are numbered 1, 2, and 3.
Each tower is divided into rooms. Rooms can either be an Alcove Room (inside the tower) or Corridor Room (between towers).
Each room is labelled as A, B, C, or D (for multi-occupancy rooms). Specific beds within a room are NOT assigned. It is up to you and your roommate(s) to decide who will take which bed. We encourge you to communicate in advance. Some students flip a coin, or decide by date of birth, or first-come-first-pick. If there are conflicts or special needs, a Residence Assistant (RA) can help mediate a fair outcome.
Understanding Your Room Number
Example: Grasslands 245-A
You are in Prairie Hall – Grasslands.
The first digit is the tower number. You are in Tower 2.
The second digit is the floor number. You are on the Fourth Floor.
The last digit is the room number. Your room number is 5.
You are student A. In a multi-occupancy room, this may say B or C or D. Check the room type on the Housing Portal to verify the occupancy level. In a single room, you can disregard the “A”.
Please note: All rooms are above ground and have windows with natural light. If you are on Level 1 (the middle number of your room number is 1), you are still above ground. Street level (the entry overpass) is between Level 2 and 3.
Alcove or Corridor Room?
If the last number of your room number is 0-5, you are in an ALCOVE room (within the tower).
If the last number of your room number is 6-9, you are in a CORRIDOR room (between the towers).
All rooms have the same amenities and furnishings, but each style of room has a different layout.

Your South room assignment may show other roommates. This may be other students in the alcove or corridor with you. Check their room assignment to verify!
