The University of Ottawa has confirmed it will open a student residence in the former Quality Hotel at Rideau Street and King Edward Avenue.

The 207-room residence will open in September with features not normally seen in student housing, including en suite bathrooms, air conditioning, double beds and flat-screen televisions in every room, the U of O said Wednesday.

The building has been empty since its sale in 2014 after previous owner InnVest Real Estate Investment Trust received what it said was an unsolicited offer on the property from an undisclosed buyer. The U of O denied at the time having any involvement in the purchase. On Wednesday, the university said it has a long-term agreement to lease the building.

The residence will house 414 students, most of them in first-year programs, the school said.

The U of O has been pushing to increase student housing and recently converted a former seniors’ home on Friel Street into a residence that now accommodates 400. Another 176-place residence is being built on Henderson Avenue.
