Saugeen–Maitland Hall, Student residence hall at Western University, Ontario, Canada.
Saugeen-Maitland Hall is a student residence at Western University in Ontario that spans multiple buildings with numerous housing units. It contains shared facilities across different levels, including music practice rooms, a fitness center, study areas, and a dining hall.
The residence opened in 1969 with separate sections for men and women until 1971, when the university shifted to a mixed-gender housing system. This change marked an important shift in the institution's residential policies.
The name draws from two rivers: Saugeen, which comes from Ojibwa meaning inlet, and Maitland, named after Sir Peregrine Maitland. These names connect the residence to local waterways and Canadian heritage.
Visitors should know that the residence consists of several connected structures that can be explored. It helps to take time to orient yourself, as the facility is quite large and has different zones.
A stuffed chicken named Duke serves as the official mascot of the residence and replaces an original live bird. This unusual symbol has an amusing history that often surprises visitors.
