After being sold at an auction in late 2019 for R88 million, the old Summerstrand Hotel, a Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) landmark, is being converted into a 500-bed residence for students at Nelson Mandela University (NMU). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversion aims at addressing the housing shortage at the university and the residence is due to open this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNMU has 29 000 students, but only 3 299 beds in university-owned residences. This means that they can only accommodate 12% of students on campus. To meet the demand for housing, the university has adopted a private student accommodation policy,\u201d director of student accommodation group, STAG African, John Schooling, said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnfortunately, most of the existing accredited private accommodation is located far away from the main campus, which contributes to increased transport costs and travel time.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Summerstrand Student Village is a 600m walk from NMU\u2019s main campus and amenities include self-catering cooking facilities, laundry facilities, Wi-Fi, a swimming pool and a student centre for social events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
