UPGRADING KING’S RESIDENCE
D
uring the 2013-14 school year, King’s completed a
renovation project on the second and third floor of
the Tower Residence. The new suites provide space for
second year students to stay on campus where they have
greater access to student support services and activities.
Six students per suite will share a common living room,
kitchenette, and two washrooms. The renovation updated
a 40-year-old building and will last for the next 40 years.
This renovation is another example of how King’s continues
to be committed to stewarding existing facilities.
As of April 2014, the eight suites are already fully subscribed
and students are eager to move in this September.
