Cryfield Village, a series of townhouse-style apartments and studios, opened in 2021. It was part of an overall University investment of £62 million in new student accommodation.

The residences are fitted with 151 photovoltaic panels that convert the sun's energy to electricity, supporting the University's aim to reach net zero carbon by 2030Link opens in a new window. The panels provide over 36,000 kWh of energy per year - enough to provide electricity for ten family homes!

These residences replaced the existing Redfern residences. They offer more accommodation than the buildings they replaced, helping to address the growing demand for on-campus accommodation, and to support the University's longer-term growth.
