The Summer Residence Program

A designated Heritage building designed by celebrated architect Ron Thom, Massey College is nestled in the heart of the University of Toronto. The College is steps away the Museum and St. George subway stations, and around the corner from the Royal Ontario Museum, Gardiner Ceramic Arts Museum and the Yorkville area.  

During the summer term, Massey College open its rooms to the international academic community and public for summer accommodations during the months of May through August. With members of the College staying on as affiliated summer residents, Massey College offers a distinct environment that encourages open, diverse interactions, both socially and academically between all its guests.
