UoGuelph considering plan to redevelop sites into mixed-use student housing

The University of Guelph has announced that it is exploring a plan to redevelop two sites on university-owned land into mixed-use student housing to create more than 2,500 beds. This would be in addition to the university’s recently announced first-year student residence development. “We’re embarking on an exciting journey to hopefully create thousands of new student housing beds over the next decade,” said UoGuelph VP (Finance and Operations) Sharmilla Rasheed. “We recognize housing availability and affordability is crucial to academic well-being and are committed to doing what we can to not only increase the quantity of student housing, but the diversity of housing options that will best meet unique student needs.”
