Mohawk closes downtown residence building opened in 2024

Mohawk College has opted to close its downtown Hamilton residence just one year after opening due to enrolment woes, reports the Hamilton Spectator. Mohawk leased the nine-storey residence and opened it in April 2024 as part of its efforts to accommodate a growing student population. However, the introduction of the international student cap reportedly had a severe impact on Mohawk’s enrolment, resulting in only 52 students moving into the 300-bed residence. The college ended the lease in May.
