9 February 2004

The Princess Royal opened new student residences on the old site of the Royal Free Hospital on 4 February 2004.

Mr William Wilson (centre), Director of Student Residences, receiving the Hospitality Assured accreditation from The Princess Royal, in the presence of Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê’s Provost & President, Professor Malcolm Grant Frances Gardner House, named in honour of the former Dean of the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine (1962-1975), will provide affordable accommodation for 216 students.

Professor John Foreman, Dean of Students at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê, said: "This building is part of a wider strategy to increase the number of high quality, affordable student residences within close proximity of the main campus."

At the opening, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê was awarded Hospitality Assured accreditation, an important indicator of the quality of the service in residences that Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê provides to its students. The building was designed by architects Fielden Clegg Bradley, who have already received an award for their use of copper in the building.

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê student residences are also open to the public during summer vacations, providing inexpensive central London accommodation, from single and twin study rooms to self-contained flats, catered or self-catered.
