Courts
Unlike the other Colleges, Halifax does not consist of a main building divided into blocks and corridors. Instead, students live in houses which are grouped together to form courts.
There are nine Courts in Halifax:
- St Lawrence Court
- Lindley Court
- Wood Court
- Ingram Court.
- Irwin Court
- Younger Court
- Ainsty Court
- Hickleton Court
- McHugh Court
Ainsty and Hickleton Courts are managed by UPP Projects Ltd as part of the University Partnership Programme. They were built and originally maintained by Jarvis plc.
College members with families also live in Garrowby Way, an area of housing which is part of Halifax College. It is owned and maintained by the York Housing Association. McHugh Court was its first new-build accommodation.
The other Courts are managed by the College and the University's Accommodation Office.
