HELLO FRIENDS! Open for music and fun facts about the residence!
About a year ago, my roommate and I were in the dark as to how our future dormitory would look like. We scoured Youtube, Google Images and the University page for information on uOttawa's Henderson building yet we couldn't find substantial videos for such a new Residence.
Now, as the second batch of students to live in these walls, we're here to share with you BOTH of our dorms, the bathroom shared between us as well as some of the common spaces: the "living room" or study room and the kitchen!
For further information, Henderson is a key-card accessed building. The swipe card gets you through the front doors, laundry room (not shown) as well as the stairwell and elevator access.
The building also has a front lobby with study spaces and large windows. The previously split double-study room on the ground floor is currently converted into a classroom due to the University's construction of two brand new buildings.
Youssra, my roommate, and myself can vouch for the fact the the building can get cold (concrete ceilings and partially concrete walls) so I personally had a portable heater. The central heat and AC is controlled by a master switch so you need to cope somehow. The residence does not encourage portable heaters due to fire safety BUT buy some flannel blankets or bring a warm duvet.
The beds are in fact, double beds. A mattress topper will make your sleep more comfortable. Don't even think twice about it.
Each room comes with a wardrobe (seen in video) and four drawers. Two are below the wardrobe and two are stack-able individual drawers that can be removed from under the bed.
The floors are a laminate material but do bring a mat for those salty winter boots.
We also have an IKEA suction cup toothbrush holder. This was extremely handy to free up some of our limited counter space.
An essential oil diffuser or a Bath and Body Works wallflower is also useful in maintaining the odours in the bathroom.
The residence can get very dusty. I invested in a small air filter and this really helped with that issue.
The room dimensions are 15'x9' and that includes your chunk of the bathroom (see the rez website for floorplans).
The windows are suicide-proof so cooking in the kitchen can set off the fire alarms. We've been there, its okay.
ALSO FUN FACT: EACH FLOOR HAS A DIFFERENT COLOUR SCHEME (bathroom floors, doors, common areas)
Ground 00 - Cherry Red
01 - Apple Green
02 - Yellow
03 - True Blue
04 - Magenta
