From May to August UNB opens their residence up like a hotel. This is not your everyday student residence. The Dr. Colin B. Mackay Residence Suites, opened in July of 2003, offers 170 double beds in the form of spacious two-bedroom suites.

Suites include two bedrooms, a kitchenette complete with microwave and fridge, and private three-piece bath. Each bedroom is furnished with a double bed, dresser, desk, closet and private phone with free local calling.

At the present, suites on the 3rd floor of the residence are equipped with TV's (the rest should be done by the time the wedding comes around....be sure to request 3rd floor to guarantee you get TV in your room if you want it).

Residence amenities include snack and beverage vending, furnished TV rooms and study lounges, a pantry/kitchen on the Lobby level equipped with stoves, a fridge and cafe seating and coin operated laundry facilities. The Residence Suites is non-smoking and security locked.

Access to the trail is located near the Residence.
