Student halls at disused hospital site on track to open this year

A new student accommodation block is on track to open later this year, according to its developer.

Unite Students is building 431-bed halls on the former hospital site along Marlborough Street, with facilities including a cinema, karaoke room and private gym. The old Bristol Royal Infirmary (BRI) site will be renamed Campbell House, in tribute to campaigner Princess Campbell, who was one of the city's first Black hospital ward sisters and helped to lead the city's fight against racial discrimination.

A spokesperson for Unite has now said: "We remain on track to open for the start of the academic year this September."
