Clare Hall, opened in 2013 as Western’s all-women hybrid style residence, stands out with its contemporary design and suite-style layout—each modern single occupancy room includes a queen bed, built-in desk, shelving, window seat, mini fridge, oversized vanity sink, and dramatic seven-foot, floor to ceiling closets. The building’s exterior features clean lines and generous glazing that bring natural light into both bedrooms and communal lounges.
Within each suite, students share a compact kitchen along with a floor lounge and study space—supporting independent living in an intimate community setting. A notably compact on site cardio/weight room sits tucked behind the first-floor laundry, offering essential equipment—treadmill, elliptical, bike, and dumbbells—for quick workouts.
Residents also enjoy 24/7 card access security, a vibrant in building dining hall, laundry facilities, and wireless connectivity throughout. The residence skillfully balances modern comfort, privacy, and a supportive living learning environment.
