With tons of different seating options, you can study at small tables, lay on couches, or host friends at the kitchen island!
Lobby Lounge
The lobby is a great place to hang out when you’re waiting for your Uber, food delivery, or friends coming over. There is a ton of seating for friends to gather or enjoy your own company.
Lounges
Envie Rideau offers a few lounges with work/study nooks, pool tables, tv’s, bar and kitchen areas and an outdoor Terrace that will make you drool! All locations have a lobby lounge for you or your guests to use at your leisure. This includes a receptionist and 24/7 security.
Study Rooms
If you’re looking for a place to work that is not on campus, Envie has got you covered. There are private study areas and a boardroom for collaborative learning. There is even a projector to practice your presentation on!
Games Area
Play a game of billiards or ping-pong in the penthouse. You can rent the equipment from reception, and start playing. Just remember to not sit on the tables!
Social Program
Featured through the monthly activity calendar, residents can find numerous events going on inside and outside the building! Ranging from movie nights, sundae bars, sports parties, and bingo night, to a rented basketball court at Carleton University for all Envie residents.
Housekeeping
Although residents have their own bedroom and ensuite bathroom, it can be hard to keep the common areas clean. Monthly visits from the housekeeping team will assist in common areas for your floor, counters, and surfaces. This is not to supplement resident cleaning, as independence is an important part of living.
Bi-Weekly Grocery Bus (Little Italy)
Envie Little Italy I & II residents have access to a bi-weekly bus that takes them to a grocery store. Stock up for the week while you’re driven to and from home without having to carry heavy bags for long distances! This takes community living to the next level.
Reception
Receptionists are available at the front desk for residents. They take care of some administrative work, mail deliveries, and more!
24 HR Security
All of our buildings are secured with key-fob only entries point, interior and exterior surveillance cameras, and guards.
