Interactive map of Whiteknights Campus. Opened in 1966, Bridges Hall admits postgraduates as well as undergraduate members, including many from overseas as well as the EC and all parts of the British Isles. There are 458 single study-bedrooms. It is named after the late Chancellor of the University, Lord Bridges, and stands among fine trees and extensive lawns. It is built on four floors around two linked quadrangles with central dining hall, common rooms, a library with reading room, a music room with piano and academic computer room with PCs.
Resident students can use their own computers and printers in their rooms.
A number of academic staff are also resident in the Hall. The building is in Whiteknights on a rise overlooking many of the University's academic departments to which it is linked by cycle paths and a bridge over the lake. Limited car parking space is available, but is not usually allocated to new undergraduates. Most Main Hall rooms have washbasins. Here, groups of twenty-eight students share local common rooms which have pantry facilities to enable them to make coffee, etc., and simple weekend suppers.
