Lanark House (LH)

University residences, named after Ontario counties in the Ottawa Valley - Lanark, Renfrew, Grenville, Russell, Glengarry, Stormont and Dundas - provide homes to 1,667 students in double and single rooms. Senior residence fellows offer advice and counsel and help new students make a successful transition to university life.

The University Commons is the hub of residence life. Most students in residence meet here for their meals. The building also contains Fenn Lounge, offices, a convenience store, an arcade, pub and information desk.
