Ulster University has acquired the Mount Royal building on the Northland Road.
Previously owned by the university in the 1990’s, it will offer 25 apartments designed and maintained to be a home-from-home for students studying at the city campus.
Located just a few minutes from the northern edge of the campus alongside local amenities, the library, students’ union, gym and transport links, the accommodation also benefits from its proximity to city centre life and restaurants, bars, and pubs.
The self-contained one-bedroom apartments will be equipped with a double bed, fully-equipped kitchen, furnished living, dining area and bathroom. As well as convenient on-site communal laundry facilities, each apartment has gas central heating, pay-as-you-use electricity supply and broadband.
Amanda Castray, director of Campus Life, said: “Mount Royal provides a great addition to the university’s student accommodation in Derry, offering apartment-style accommodation for individuals, couples and families.
“Students enjoy the benefits of staying in university accommodation including 24/7 pastoral care and a full social events programme. We are delighted to bring this building back into our accommodation provision and expand the options for students studying and living in this vibrant university city.”
The Mount Royal accommodation will be available for our student residents for the start of the new academic year in September.
