All rooms have central heating, and about a third have individual wash-basins.
Students can use their own computers and printers in their rooms, and can also rent a telephone. The rooms are smaller than most of the rest of Mansfield, but larger than many of Reading's other Halls. Along with all other rooms at Mansfield, an Oxton room is fully furnished with high quality fittings. Newbury Newbury building houses the remainder of the first year students, along with some students from other years. It was built in 1947 and as a consequence the rooms are larger than any modern hall of residence.
