Storm Jameson Court, Leeds

History

Storm Jameson Court was opened in 2010 and was built to a very high specification, with students of the future in mind, as well as conference delegates and short break guests.  This high-quality residence is named after Margaret Storm Jameson, an alumnus of the University who went on to write more than 45 books.

One of the main criteria was to produce a highly accessible building.  Again, this supports the University's accessible aims to offer university education to everyone equally. But it is also placed in Leeds a unique building, with 20 accessible bedrooms, which would appeal to any individuals or groups, who normally have to make do with unadapted, standard hotel bedrooms.

Food & beverage

The bedrooms are sold on a room-only basis (equipped with tea and coffee-making facilities), but a wide range of self-serve breakfast fare is available for purchase from the University Refectory, just 100 metres from Storm Jameson Court.

Guests have access to fridges in the adjacent kitchens but please note, that cooking is not possible.

Storm Jameson Court is one of a group of buildings forming Charles Morris Hall.

The grounds of the University are open for guests to stroll around and enjoy tree-fringed piazzas and avenues, or to relax by the fountains at the southern end of the campus by the Roger Stevens Building.
