McMaster Hall - All Gender Residence

Welcome to McMaster Hall!

McMaster Hall is a 10-storey, gender-inclusive residence featuring both private and semi-private washrooms. Residents have access to a spacious study room, as well as a communal TV and games room, all conveniently located on the main floor. The highly active McMaster Hall Residence Council regularly organizes a variety of events and activities, creating opportunities for residents to connect, engage, and build community.

Note: Priority is given to students who have an 8 month contract.

Gender Inclusivity

We at Brandon University Residence strive to affirm all genders while remaining transparent about what we can offer with our current infrastructure. We recognize that gender is a galaxy, and that the language we use to define gender may have different meanings to different people. Students are encouraged to speak to Brian Erixon, Residence Coordinator, at erixonb@brandonu.ca to address any concerns or questions regarding gender inclusion in residence. Part of his role at Brandon University is to ensure a safe environment for all students living in residence.
