Coldex Fridges
Interested in having a refrigerator in your room? The University’s contractor Coldex is offering rental of a medium bar or large bar refrigerator for the academic year!
By restricting personal refrigerators to those provided by Coldex, we ensure that all refrigerators are properly cleaned and in good working order, assist the University in providing a safe and healthy living environment in its residences, and contribute to the University’s sustainability efforts.
Please note: The suites residences, Prescott, Frontenac, and Leeds have a meal preparation area in the suite that includes a full size refrigerator for use by all residents of that assigned space.
