Lister Hall is a complex of three y-shaped towers, each bearing the name of an early western Canadian explorer. The Mackenzie tower, the first co-educational dormitory on campus, was built two years after the Henday and Kelsey towers, with the official opening of Lister Hall complex occurring in 1964. Lister Hall provides room and board for 1200 students and includes such facilities as tennis courts, pianos, music practice rooms, computer rooms, typewriter rooms, and study libraries. Each room is 163 sq. Lister Hall allows students the choice of very quiet, quiet, moderate or regular social activity.
