The foundation stone was laid on 30th September 1957 and work was completed on 31st July 1959. The student accommodation included seven blocks, mainly of three-storeys, a warden's house and ancillary buildings grouped around two quadrangles. There was a communal dining hall, common rooms, a library and houses containing a total of 230 study-bedrooms with rooms for social activities.
