In an effort to address its student accommodation shortage, Nelson Mandela University has opened a 500-bed residence in Summerstrand, with two additional buildings set to be completed by the end of the year.
The 500-bed residence, which includes sustainability interventions and used a novel construction method, forms part of the university’s broader infrastructure plans.
The new developments add to the 200-bed residence opened on the George campus in 2021, which makes up the 2,000-bed additional on-campus residence capacity mooted a few years ago after government infrastructure grants made provision for a residence portion. Each pod, or living area, accommodates eight students in four double rooms, and comes complete with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities, as well as shared common rooms.
