A large parkland area on the outskirts of the
village of Cottingham, approximately three and a half miles from the
main University campus.
The Lawns
has seven purpose built residential halls and a large multi-functional
central complex. This means we can accommodate all your residential and
conference needs without moving off site. There are 830 bedrooms in
all, each with wash-hand basins and private balconies.
The
largest meeting room in the central complex can comfortably seat up to
300 delegates with a choice of syndicate rooms seating from 6 to 60.
The
concourse offers 6,000 sq ft of exhibiton space and the centre provides
free parking for 300 cars. The Lawns is justifiably proud of its
reputation for the highest standards of service and for the quality and
variety of its catering. Taylor Court is situated on the main University
campus and accommodation is provided within the self catering en-suite
Taylor Court Flats. Taylor Court comprised of 12 houses, each
containing three flats with eight bedrooms per flat. Each flat has a
fully equipped kitchen/dining area for guest’s use. Each single bedroom
is equipped with a computer point and has an en-suite shower room. Bed
linen is provided but guests need to bring their own towels and
toiletries. There are two bedrooms catering for disabled delegates and
car parking is adjacent.
All
catering and meeting rooms can be provided in Staff House which has
been recently refurbished and is within close proximity to Taylor Court. Universities play an increasingly important role
in the conference market and two thirds of the UK’s Universities take
conference business. At Hull University we are able to offer facilities
that exceed many of the local hotels. The availability of areas for
registration, refreshments, exhibitions and catering are not always
readily available at some venues, where you may have to share
facilities with other groups staging their events. Situated on the main University campus is
Middleton Hall, which can seat up to 514 delegates and is suitable for
public performances as well as conferences.
There
is exhibition space and seven tiered lecture theatres are close by.
Middleton Hall offers an extensive range of high quality audio-visual
equipment with full technical support.
An excellent variety of further meeting rooms are also available on campus. |
