Our new eco-friendly and accessible building has 72 student rooms and social spaces including a large café/bar. Surrounded by new pathways, landscaping and bicycle storage, together with new bicycle and pedestrian access onto Madingley Road.

67 rooms have small double beds, five rooms have single beds and all rooms are ensuite. The New Building also has several accessible rooms, two with adjacent carer facilities. The building has been designed and built under a Passivhaus scheme, which means low energy and high comfort.

Property features

The New Building is a great choice for student accommodation at Lucy Cavendish College. It’s located on the main site and with easy access  to the Cambridge City Centre and train station. So whether you’re exploring your new city in your spare time, heading home, or off to a lecture, this is a great place to be based.

On site and near the New Building you will find our Porters Lodge where the members of our team will be more than happy to assist you with any queries you may have. There is also a gym and main laundry room on site, as well as common areas which are being used by our students to meet up with friends in the evenings. During the day, these rooms can be used to catch up on your studies and course work.
