Storm Jameson Court, Leeds

Storm Jameson Court, part of Charles Morris Hall, is a contemporary residence, built in 2010 to a very high standard, and rated as 4 star by VisitEngland. The building is at the heart of the main campus, close to the city centre. The impressive foyer has the reception desk, a games room with table tennis and pool, and a large-screen TV. The ensuite bedrooms (showers) offer Superior Single beds for single occupancy. However, should you require double occupancy, then please contact us. Another feature is shared use of a TV lounge area. Guests enjoy free broadband Internet access. The building also offers 20 accessible bedrooms, however please note that Mobility adapted rooms are only available during the summer vacation. Storm Jameson Court also carries the Gold award for Sustainable Green Tourism.

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 (1891-1986), 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 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. 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. For full details on the Refectory and the Coffee Bars at the University of Leeds visit this link: http://gfal.leeds.ac.uk/where-to-eat/ Guests have access to fridges in the adjacent kitchens but please note, that cooking is not possible. The nearby Faversham Arms pub serves lunches and evening meals and a 10 minute walk will take you to restaurants, bars and pubs in Leeds city centre.
