McMaster’s newest residence building at 10 Bay Street welcomed its first student residents to their new home last Friday.

McMaster’s 10 Bay Residence, located at the corner of King and Bay St. South, is the university’s first residence in downtown Hamilton and is part of McMaster’s ongoing commitment to provide more housing for its students. Initially designed as a graduate residence, the 30-storey tower will also be home to a diverse community of upper-year undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and their families.
