Room to grow: Ontario Tech University to expand on-campus living with plans for new residence in Fall 2027

Project continues the university’s campus expansion while strengthening its focus on creating an engaging student experience

OSHAWA, ONTARIO – Ontario Tech University is breaking ground on The Ridge, a new on-campus residence that will welcome students starting in Fall 2027. This vital campus addition reflects the university’s continued growth and commitment to enhancing campus life. With its modern design, the residence will create spaces that support learning and academic-life balance with the convenience of being close to classes and labs, while helping to address the need for student housing in the region.

To be constructed just north of the Campus Ice Centre along a natural water course feature, the residence will open in stages: 450 beds in the first phase, with long-term plans to accommodate about 2,000 students. This project advances Ontario Tech’s campus expansion plans to meet today’s needs while preparing for the future, and will help support the university’s growth target of 20,000 learners.
