Opened in September of 2004 and can accommodate approximately 430 undergraduate students, with two-bedroom suites with shared kitchen and bathroom. It also has a ground floor common room with laundry facilities, lounge furniture, TV, and landscaped courtyard outside. The building is also environmentally friendly with a 1,000 square metre planted roof which will increase thermal insulation and stores ground water, and therefore reducing the need for sewers. It also features the "in-slab radiant heating and cooling" which uses less energy and provides more comfort than conventional forced-air or electric heaters.
