Accommodation
The University provides 4,500 bedrooms in a variety of locations and all first year undergraduates are guaranteed a place in university accommodation. Carnegie Village was new for September 2010 and provides Passivhaus standard townhouses and apartments at Headingley Campus. The largest hall is Kirkstall Brewery on Broad Lane which has places for over 1,000 students and is located about 2 miles (3.2 km) from the Headingley campus. As its name suggests it is a former brewery property, but is mostly modern blocks. The second largest is Sugarwell Court, in Meanwood, which is about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the Civic campus, and accommodates 388 students. This is also a converted industrial site.
Accommodation types vary. Across North Leeds there are many sites which are primarily low-rise buildings, often converted from a former industrial use. The growing number of sites around the city centre has led to the building of new highrise complexes, these include Opal 3, The Skyplaza and Broadcasting Tower.
There are also several sites owned by Opal Property Group in Burley near The Leeds Studios.
