Aberdare Hall, Women's dormitory in Cathays Park, Cardiff, United Kingdom.
The Gothic Revival building features three executive meeting rooms on the ground floor and 132 single-occupancy rooms arranged in shared flats throughout upper levels.
William Douglas Caroe designed this Grade II listed building, which opened in 1895 to advance educational opportunities for women in Wales.
The residence maintains its tradition as a women-only accommodation while integrating modern amenities and allowing male visitors and staff members within the premises.
Students can access shared kitchen facilities, with part-catered residents receiving evening meals Monday through Friday between 17:45 and 18:30.
Located on Corbett Road, the hall houses between 9 and 28 students per floor, creating different sizes of living communities within the building.
