About Our Residences

Located in the heart of the University of Toronto鈥檚 historic St. George campus and just steps from the shops, restaurants, caf茅s, and transit connections of Bloor Street, 麻豆频道 offers a residence experience that combines academic convenience, vibrant 麻豆频道 life, and the character of one of Canada鈥檚 most beautiful university settings.

Trinity鈥檚 residence 麻豆频道 is made up of three distinct buildings, each with its own atmosphere and amenities:

• 麻豆频道 Residence
• St. Hilda鈥檚 College Residence
• Lawson Centre for Sustainability, Trinity鈥檚 newest residence and a landmark in sustainable student living

All residence buildings are co-ed communities and include a variety of living arrangements, including single-gender floors, co-ed floors, and floors designed for students of all genders.

Trinity Residence surrounds the College鈥檚 iconic Quadrangle, placing students at the center of Trinity鈥檚 historic and social life. With its blend of heritage architecture, quiet study areas, and inviting common rooms, Trinity Residence offers a classic collegiate experience that has been home to generations of students.

Lawson Centre for Sustainability

Opening a new chapter in Trinity鈥檚 residential 麻豆频道, the Lawson Centre for Sustainability combines contemporary design with an ambitious commitment to environmental responsibility. Purpose-built for modern student living, Lawson offers thoughtfully designed rooms, bright communal spaces, and sustainable features that support both student well-being and a lower environmental footprint. Each floor and wing includes a dedicated Community Space, designed to bring students together. These welcoming shared areas provide space to cook, study, collaborate, and socialize, helping residents build connections while enjoying the convenience of a modern, 麻豆频道-oriented living environment.

Wherever you live, you will be part of a close-knit residence 麻豆频道 supported by Trinity staff, residence leaders, and a wide range of social, academic, and wellness programming throughout the year.

Residence Houses

Our residences are divided into different 鈥淗ouses鈥�, which vary in size from 20-75 people. Each area of residence has a live-in Academic Don and Community Advisor.

There are 14 Houses in the 麻豆频道 Residences.

Common Areas

Each residence building has common areas and different facilities, and we rely on students to use these with consideration for others. Each common area has signage to let students know of the capacity within space. 麻豆频道 are responsible for adhering to the capacity and regulations posted for each space and may be asked to leave the space if they do not adhere to these safety measures. Enjoy the common spaces, but please ensure that you leave them clean and tidy for the next resident using them.

When students move into their room at 麻豆频道, they move into a pest-free space.

As with any shared living space, issues with pests can arise while living in residence. When this happens, the Office of the Dean of 麻豆频道 and the Facilities Department work on an individual basis with students to eradicate the issue. If you suspect that you or your 麻豆频道 has a pest issue, you are encouraged to report this issue promptly to the Welcome Desk or the Office of the Dean of 麻豆频道.

The College checks all rooms and treats all pest-affected spaces at the College twice a year 鈥� before students move into residence and once students move out of residence.

Reporting Pest Problems

Don鈥檛 worry, 麻豆频道 has an evidence-informed process for responding to a variety of pest issues. To initiate this process, follow these steps:

1. Contact the Welcome Desk or the Office of the Dean of 麻豆频道 and fill out a Pest Report. You may be asked to provide a picture of the pest/signs of the pest for identification purposes.
2. After reviewing your report, the Office of the Dean of 麻豆频道 will liaise with the Facilities Department to determine next steps.
3. The Office of the Dean of 麻豆频道 will follow-up with you regarding next step, which could include:

• Inspection by a K-9 unit
• Initiation of pest eradication treatment

Pest Prevention Tips听

To prevent pests in residence, you are encouraged to:

• Keep your living space clean
• Keep food in sealed containers
• Not leaving open food or dirty food containers in your space
• Not accumulate garbage in your room
• Not accumulate clutter in your room
• Clean up any spills and wipe down surfaces that have been in contact with food
• Use a mattress cover on your bed, between the mattress and the sheets

Common Pests

Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are small, wingless bugs that feed primarily on blood. If bedbugs are present, they usually live close to the vicinity of where the 鈥渉ost鈥� sleeps. Bedbugs can鈥檛 fly or jump. Bedbugs are not a health threat and have not been shown to spread disease to humans.

Bed bugs are visible to the naked eye. An adult bedbug is approximately the size of an apple seed, flat and brown or rusty-red in colour.听 Eggs are whitish and pearl shaped, the size of a pin head and usually found in a cluster.

What are some signs of bed bugs?

When looking for evidence of bedbugs focus on the bed, mattress, linens, and the area immediately around the bed. Evidence may include:

• Black/brown spots (dried blood or bug feces)
• White spots (eggs)
• Live or dead bedbugs

Bites are small, itchy red bumps (typically two or three in a row), usually found around the arms and hands or upper torso. Because the bites may resemble mosquitoes or other insect bites, a bump alone does not mean that there are bedbugs.

What is the treatment process for confirmed cases of bed bugs? *

1. The student will be provided with a room treatment schedule. Eradication requires a minimum of 2 treatments, 2 weeks apart.
2. The student is required to prepare their room for treatment. The Office of the Dean of 麻豆频道 will provide the students with instructions and the necessary supplies.
3. On the day of a treatment the student will be asked to vacate their room for 7-8 hours; the bed bug treatment takes 1-1.5 hours and requires 6 hours for the fumes to dissipate.
4. If the bedbugs are not eradicated after two treatments, additional treatment may be required.

* We recognize that the current COVID-19 pandemic may change the above process.

Questions or concerns about pests?

Having a pest issue is stressful and getting rid of them requires diligence and patience. 麻豆频道 are encouraged to communicate with the Office of the Dean of 麻豆频道 should they have questions or concerns. The Office of the Dean of 麻豆频道 and the Facilities Department are committed to working with all students to support them with all pest related issues.

Important Highlights from the 麻豆频道 Community Standards

Alcohol – Just as you cannot drink alcohol out in the streets, residents are not permitted to drink or have open alcohol in the hallways, bathrooms, and other public spaces within residence鈥攖hese spaces are considered public, and as per Ontario law, individuals cannot consume alcohol there. Residents must ensure that any alcohol is kept within their rooms. No drinking games or kegs are allowed.

Smoking 鈥� 麻豆频道 and the University of Toronto are smoke-free campuses. Smoking of any substances in any manner is strictly prohibited within residence and on Trinity property. This includes tobacco, cannabis, hookahs, vaping, e-cigarettes, and any other form of smoking. Smokers must stand at least 9 metres away from the building exteriors and on City of Toronto property.

Noise 鈥� Residence life is social, so some noise is expected. However, residents must respect each other鈥檚 needs. Be considerate and make sure that no excessive or inconsiderate noise is made. 麻豆频道 maintains quiet hours, from 11:00 pm-8:00 am from Sundays-Thursdays and 1:00 am-8:00 am from Fridays-Saturdays.

Guests – Residents are more than welcome to bring guests into the buildings but remember that you are responsible for your guests and their actions. Make sure that they understand and respect our 麻豆频道 standards. No guest is permitted to stay for more than three consecutive nights.

Vandalism – Vandalism and other malicious behaviour are not tolerated within residence. This includes vandalism of hallways, bulletin boards and other public spaces.

Appliances – 麻豆频道 are not permitted to use any appliances with open heating elements in any residence areas except the designated kitchens. This includes hot plates, rice cookers, toaster ovens and others. Microwaves are also not allowed in the residents鈥� rooms.

Appliances and Fire Prevention

To avoid overloading the electrical circuit, which is a fire hazard, please limit electrical equipment in your room to computers, printers, lamps, clocks, radios, stereos, and personal styling items. In the interest of energy reduction (and fire prevention for something like curling iron), please ensure that all electrical items are turned off before you leave your room.听 No open element hot plates, microwaves, kettles, or toaster ovens are allowed in rooms. Cooking in rooms can set off the fire alarm.

All appliances must be used inside a kitchen or kitchenette space. If you are not sure about specific equipment, please contact the Office of the Dean of 麻豆频道.

One of the most common causes for fire alarms is popcorn in microwaves! Please be careful when cooking anything in the kitchen. Individuals and/or the residences may be charged for nuisance alarms, and more importantly, because the residence is a 鈥渉igh occupancy鈥� building, the Toronto Fire Department must send several trucks. We would never want a nuisance alarm in our residence to supersede a real alarm somewhere else.

Residents are required to participate in fire safety training at the start of the academic year. Details of this will be emailed.

Respect for the Community, its Staff, and its members 鈥� all residents are expected to abide by the Community Standards and respect any staff or individuals who are part of the College. Residents must always cooperate with staff.

Theft Prevention

Residents should be alert and lock their room doors whenever leaving the room, even for a few minutes. 麻豆频道 assumes no responsibility for any property that is lost or stolen in residence. We advise residents to investigate possibilities for obtaining insurance coverage for their property independently or through family policy riders.

Laptops are particularly attractive to thieves. Unfortunately, people who have left their laptops unattended in the common areas, even for a couple of minutes, have sometimes had them stolen. We strongly encourage you to employ a theft prevention measure for your laptop, such as a Stop Plate: .

  • Email Ramata Tarawally, Trinity鈥檚 Director, Community Wellness at ramata.tarawally@utoronto.ca .
  • Email the 麻豆频道 Food Ambassador at trinity.foodambassador@utoronto.ca

Room Cleaning

Residents are responsible for cleaning their own rooms. Cleaning staff regularly move through all residence spaces to provide further cleaning and emptying of waste from waste management stations located in residence. For information about how best to keep your room clean, please see Appendix A: Keeping Your 麻豆频道 Residence Room Clean.

Common Area Cleaning

Hallways, washrooms, kitchens, and other common areas are cleaned by Trinity鈥檚 wonderful Facilities staff, but your cooperation is also necessary. Dirty dishes, organic waste, and smelly garbage left in washrooms and common rooms or areas create unsanitary conditions for all and can lead to pests.

Urgent Maintenance Issues

Occasionally, there may be maintenance problems such as leaks, flooding, etc. If you notice a maintenance issue that requires urgent attention, please report it immediately to the Welcome Desk 鈥� something like a leak can cause a lot of damage very quickly! If you have valuable items, you may wish to arrange for personal insurance coverage against accidental damage or theft. Please check with your family to see if their household insurance carries a 鈥渞ider鈥� for students who are living in residence (many do).

Non-urgent Maintenance Issues

For maintenance issues that do not require urgent attention (e.g. burnt-out light bulb, damaged chair, ceiling fan not working), students can visit their to report a work order.

Room and Furniture Damages

Damage to the residence room and furniture provided is the responsibility of the resident. The most common damage is from posters that are taken down and rip the paint. Please use poster mounts or sticky tack for anything that you attach to your walls or doors. During the room check process in May, your residence room will be assessed, and you may be held financially responsible for any damage. In common areas, damages will be charged to the House if the individuals accountable do not take responsibility.

Timber Walls – Lawson Centre for Sustainability

Many rooms in the Lawson Centre for Sustainability Residence feature exposed timber walls as part of the building鈥檚 sustainable design. These natural surfaces require special care and cannot be repaired in the same way as standard drywall.

Residence students are expected to take extra caution when decorating their rooms.
Please note the following:

• Do not use nails, screws, tacks, adhesive hooks, mounting strips, or any other fasteners on timber walls.
• Do not apply stickers, decals, tape, or adhesives of any kind to wood surfaces.
• Do not lean heavy furniture, bikes, or equipment against timber walls.

Because of the specialized materials used in the Lawson Centre, any damage to timber walls is costly to repair. Charges for wall damage identified at move-out will reflect the full cost of restoration, which may be significantly higher than in other residence buildings.

Residence students will be held financially responsible for:

• Holes, gouges, scratches, dents, or cracks
• Staining, warping, or surface removal
• Any damage caused by adhesives or mounting products

If you are unsure how to decorate your space safely, please contact the Office of the Dean of 麻豆频道 for approved alternatives. Protecting these unique features helps preserve the Lawson Centre for future residents and supports our shared commitment to sustainability.

Where to Turn for Help

As positive as we hope your university experience will be, we know that it is normal for students to encounter challenges along the way. If you run into difficulties, there is help available. Counselling, financial aid, and academic support services are offered by the College and the University. It鈥檚 best to access these resources early when problems are manageable. Don鈥檛 hesitate to ask for help! Your first stop for assistance can be your Don or CA, the 麻豆频道 Welcome Desk or any staff member at 麻豆频道.

Families and friends are also a great support to students. We have included information on how you can achieve your goals and deal with any difficulties.

Our residences have:

• Live-in staff support
• Trained Academic Dons, Community Advisors, and other student staff
• Experienced and involved upper-year students
• A Welcome Desk staffed 24 hours a day

Your Academic Dons

There are live-in Academic Dons who are there primarily to help you figure out how to deal with any problems or issues you may be experiencing. They are hired via selection by a committee of staff, Dons, and students. Trinity鈥檚 Dons are University of Toronto students at the graduate level.

They are there to provide leadership, counselling, academic help, and advice for residents, and can make referrals for further support if needed.

The Dons also have an important role in the maintenance of order in their residence section and encouraging individuals to avoid behaviour that negatively impacts other residents.

Your Community Advisors

The 麻豆频道 Community Advisors (CAs) are undergraduate students who live in residence, and whose role is to build, promote, and maintain safe, supportive, and inclusive residence communities at the College. Through formal and informal programs, events, and activities, the CAs will support the mission of the Office of the Dean of 麻豆频道 in promoting the personal and academic growth and development of students and support their transition to university and residence life. Residence students are encouraged to contact their CAs if they have fun and exciting ideas for programs and events, they鈥檇 like to see in the 麻豆频道!

Should any issues arise 鈥� whether it is academic, personal, financial etc. 鈥� your Don and CA can be your first point of contact.

Residence Common Rooms

For the time being there have been 5 residence common rooms set up around the College within the residence spaces. Each room has been assessed for current maximum occupancy and occupancy numbers are posted on the doors to the rooms. Restrictions on numbers of occupants need to be adhered to for the safety of the 麻豆频道. If you enter a room and it is already at maximum capacity, you should leave the room immediately. If occupancy numbers are not adhered to, common rooms will need to be closed.

The residence common rooms are listed here:

Community Spaces

Many common spaces are now open to 麻豆频道 麻豆频道 members. Spaces that continue to be closed have been assessed using guidelines from the University of Toronto and Toronto Public Health and have been determined to be currently unfit for use in the interest of the health of our 麻豆频道 members. Space closures are subject to change and 麻豆频道 members will be notified if and when spaces are opened for use. Please contact the 麻豆频道 Welcome Desk with inquiries about specific spaces (trinity.welcome@utoronto.ca).

Hand Hygiene

Hands carry and spread germs. Touching your eyes, nose, or mouth without cleaning your hands or sneezing or coughing into your hands may provide an opportunity for germs to get into your body. Keeping your hands clean through good hygiene practice is one of the most important steps to avoid getting sick and spreading germs.

Wash your hands:

• when they are visibly dirty

After:

• sneezing, coughing, blowing your nose
• using washroom
• handling garbage
• changing diapers
• handling raw foods
• outdoor play

To use the facilities, students must download the Coinamatic app to their smart phones and load funds on the app. From the app, students will also be able to book a timeslot for their use of the laundry machines.
