Everything about Bodington Hall totally explained
Bodington Hall is a site owned by the
University of Leeds, which contains the university's main playing fields and its largest
halls of residence. It is also used for conferences. Known as
Bod within the university it's located between
Lawnswood and
Adel, approximately 4 miles north of the main campus. Bodington is mainly used to house
first year undergraduate students.
The site opened in November
1961, and was completed by
1963. It was named after Sir
Nathan Bodington, the first
Vice Chancellor of the university.
In November 2007, the University Council made the decision to sell Bodington Hall in the next four years, as the accommodation is in need of refurbishment, and replace it with accommodation closer to the university campus.

Bodington houses 700 catered students and 500 self-catered students with up to 120 students in each of its 16 houses.

city centre, on
First Leeds route 95. It offers more car parking spaces per student compared to many other University of Leeds accommodation.
Bodington was proposed to be a
terminus of the now cancelled

park and ride would have been built on part of the site. An extension of the route was proposed to continue to
Holt Park. More recently,
West Yorkshire Metro has proposed a
trolleybus service for the route.
