When you move into the Urban Hub’s interiors, your bedroom is just part of the story. Social hubs, study spaces and outdoor spaces to chill and catch up with your friends are a big part of your university experience.

Our digital team is working hard to put the finishing touches on the platform, but you can already take an interactive tour of our facilities. Here, we focus on two of our key sites, Sizer St and Moor Lane and detail our large communal hubs.

Moor Lane and Sizer Street

Every student housing website has a personality and design that’s all its own. With our VR tour, you can compare our locations and select the perfect setting for your lifestyle:

Sizer St: Sizer St boasts bright, modern views for student living and immediate access to lively social spaces.
Moor Lane: This one has a vibrant atmosphere and is a favourite among students seeking a strong sense of community right on their doorstep. You can virtually walk through its spacious communal areas.

The Game Room, Common Room & Courtyard: Where to Socialise

Making friends is a large part of university life, and we’ve designed our social spaces to bring people together:

Common Area & Common Room: Stop by and have a look at the main lounge space at Urban Hub, with comfortable seating, televisions, and roomy spots that are great for hanging out in a group and for social events.
Game Room: Take a walk into our special little game room where you can find pool tables, gaming stations, and interactive entertainment zones so you can test your skills against your housemates.
Outdoor Courtyard: Make some time to enjoy our secure, landscaped courtyard outside. It’s a lovely place to sit out, socialise during the warmer months, or even grab a breather between lectures.

Balance and Wellbeing: Comfort Zone & Snug Area

We know university life can be hectic, so we have created quiet zones just for relaxation and mental wellbeing:

Comfort Zone: Stroll through our comfortable, quiet lounge areas with plush seating for reading, relaxing, or sipping a quiet hot drink.
Screen-Free Common Area: The common area is a screen-free space for residents to unplug from their laptops and smartphones and actually decompress.

Work, Study and Laundry

A good student accommodation should also look after your day-to-day needs, including the little things you need to do every day.

Study Room: Check out our calm, well-lit study space. You’ll find individual study carrels and group tables for exam revision and group work as well.
Laundry Room: Feel comfortable using our tidy, modern on-site laundry room. It has high-capacity smart washers and dryers, so your laundry day is basically effortless.
