Residence at Brescia
Opened September 2013, Clare Hall accommodates just over 300 students conveniently on campus, steps from classes and the library. Located in the centre of campus, this gorgeous, sustainability-focused building is organized into “houses” for small groupings of students. Composed of mainly single accommodations, each room features a queen-size bed, floor-to-ceiling closets, an ensuite bathroom, individual climate controls and a window seat. The Mercato — our marché style dining pavilion — has our very own Red Seal Chef, offering fresh, made-to-order dishes with emphasis on local foods. Brescia guarantees residence space for all students.
