Renfrew House is a residence building at Carleton University.

Located on the north side of the campus with the other residences, the building is a bar oriented along an east-west axis. Windows on the south-facing facade have small concrete canopies, on the north facade concrete lintels are used in the same place.

The building shares the same footprint, massing, and materiality as the adjacent Lanark House, however Renfrew House features a more sophisticated ground floor, detailed with concrete columns and a dark brown brick. Other than the ground floor, the building is clad in an orange brick, like several of the other residence buildings.
