The phased-in return of university students to campus under Level 3 lockdown has

highlighted the need for an updated approach to student housing.

In order to provide a controlled environment where hygiene protocols and residencebased screening can be enforced, on-campus accommodation needs to limit social

interaction, without losing the vitally important aspect of community.

Moving forward, the design of student accommodation will need to account for the

certainty of similar pandemics in the future.
