Deans Court - 3-5  South Street external refurbishment works

Roof and stonework repairs are planned for Summer 2025, requiring the building to be unoccupied during that period. You will get the opportunity to apply for summer accommodation. Details will be provided nearer the time.

Hall information

Deans Court has single rooms located throughout the main building and annexes. Most bedrooms are classed as standard catered and have shared bathroom facilities. Some rooms have private en-suite facilities which include a shower and sink; however, all residents share toilets. 

Housekeeping arrangements in traditional halls will change from September 2024, staff will clean shared bathrooms and kitchens (unless they are part of a flat) as well as corridors and other public areas.  Bedrooms will not be cleaned and students will be responsible for disposing of rubbish and recycling.  In line with ensuite accommodation, monthly cleanliness and safety checks will be carried out.

Academic year 2023-24

Summer 2024 refurbishments

Due to rolling refurbishments 5, 7 and 9 North Street rooms will only be available for 37 week contracts (2nd September 2023 - 18 May 2024). Students allocated with a 37 week contract will be able to apply for summer accommodation if it is required. This is likely to involve a transfer to a different residence.

We have reviewed the accommodation types within Deans Court and the annexes and, from September 2021 the rent will be based on each type of room and the facilities within and around the room. This will reflects the floor space available and the facilities each room offers in a fairer manner.
