Adelaide Hall

Completed in 1952, this building is the second oldest residence on campus. It is located at the corner of University Avenue and Stuart Street.

Adelaide Hall was made possible by a gift from Adelaide McLaughlin, the wife of R.S. McLaughlin, who was President of General Motors of Canada and a generous benefactor of Queen's University.

The building was erected because of the urgent need for a new women's residence; for thirty years the only residence on campus had been Ban Righ Hall and there were nowhere near enough places for all applicants.

Adelaide Hall still serves as a women-only residence. It was built to connect with Ban Righ Hall and is faced with Queenston limestone.
