The Lawns, University residence halls in Cottingham, England
The Lawns complex contains seven residential buildings with angled walls, thick brick balustrades, and timber windows arranged around central green spaces.
Built between 1962 and 1968 by Gillespie, Kidd and Coia architects, the halls received Grade II listed status in 1993 for architectural excellence.
The residence halls transformed student living by introducing communal spaces and organized blocks that encouraged social interaction among university students.
The 40-acre property closed in 2019 and remains under consideration for new residential development projects with input from local preservation authorities.
Each residential block contained specific configurations of nine students per floor, with most rooms featuring individual balconies overlooking landscaped grounds.
