A return of common sense. I was never convinced today's students would refuse to share facilities if it meant cheaper accommodation. The push to ensuites and even micro-kitchens was driven by out of term conference letting and visiting parents IMO

In June, Mr Lawless published updated design standards for State-sponsored student housing that saw rules relaxed to allow for the development of shared bathrooms, bedrooms, and living spaces to make complexes cheaper to build.

It is hoped the standards will allow for additional bed capacity, faster delivery and savings on procurement.

With a greater focus on twin rooms, communal kitchens, and shared bathrooms, it will replace the reliance on individual en-suite rooms.
