Wright Robinson Hall

Wright Robinson Hall is a hall of residence of The University of Manchester, very close to Manchester Piccadilly station in Manchester. It was a flagship hall of UMIST and became a University of Manchester hall when UMIST and Victoria University of Manchester merged into The University of Manchester.^{[citation needed]}

Wright Robinson Hall is connected to the Barnes Wallis Building however the buildings are always referred to as separate structures.^{[citation needed]}

In February 2008, a component of the Vimto statue on Granby Row was thrown down the South stairwell of the building, causing serious structural damage. ^{[citation needed]}

Format

The hall has 14 floors (C to Q) accessible to students - there is no I floor. C Floor is the ground floor, D floor houses the laundry room and Q floor has only maintenance/service rooms. E to P floors are each a flat of 15 bedrooms, one 'Common Room Kitchen' and two bathrooms. This makes for 165 bedrooms. Room 8 on each floor is a 'supersingle' bedroom, about twice the size of the other bedrooms.^{[citation needed]}

Cost

The hall offers 40 week p.a. contracts, allowing students to inhabit the rooms all year round except during summer. This costs £3,970 or £4,624 for the supersingle room.^[1]
