The University of Leeds’ state-of-the-art on campus accommodation is proving popular amongst conference organisers with over 20,000 bed nights sold to date, even though it doesn’t open until next year.

The eagerly anticipated £27.1 million Storm Jameson Court with 459-bedrooms opens to delegates in June 2011. Richard Handscombe, Head of Sales and Marketing for the University of Leeds conferencing, events and accommodation said: “We’re delighted with the amount of interest that Storm Jameson Court has received from conference organisers. The impressive building, which for the first time enables us to offer en-suite rooms at the heart of the campus, helps to move us into the premier division of UK conference venues and is set to rival anything in British higher education.”

Delegates will benefit from a 24-hour reception service and a range of attractive social areas to meet. All rooms have contemporary décor, high specification en-suite bathrooms, telephone, data access points, an IPTV facility and a safe. There are also 23 rooms available specifically designed for anyone with a physical disability.
