Mayflower Halls has officially opened and welcomed its first wave of students.  Situated in Southampton’s ‘Cultural Quarter,’ the striking University of Southampton halls of residence with external design from Ubu Design comprises three accommodation blocks of up to 16 stories and an internal piazza where people can meet, relax and entertain.

Designed to enhance the student experience, the external designs include a range of robust functional spaces for the 1,100 residents, graduating from a public thoroughfare to semi-private areas and a private courtyard.

Ubu Design has also been appointed by contractors Osborne to work on the University’s rebuilding of Chamberlain Halls, which will house a GP surgery, pharmacy and roughly 350 high-quality student rooms.
