A notable presence at the University of Ottawa, the Thompson Residence is a brutalist tower that rises above the surrounding campus context. The bright concrete tower is visible while walking down Laurier Ave. East, and is located away from the other residence buildings on the campus.

The 20-storey residence is interconnected with many of the other modern buildings at the school, including the Morisset Library and Jock Turcot University Centre, which were built at similar times during the 1970s. The building is completely clad in a lightly coloured concrete, which contrasts with the black window frames and dark windows.
