The building consists of 278 study bedrooms, of which 80% are in modular form located in three wings and 20% are built on site within the concrete core, and also 52 communal kitchen/lounges in modular form.
The bedroom modules were 14m long 2.7m wide comprising two 5.7m long rooms and a double corridor for fire and acoustic separation.
The lounge modules were 7m long 3.8m wide and provided communal space for 5 study bedrooms on each face of the wings.
