Indeed
I haven't found anyone either guessing its a small blockHi, I was just browsing the University of Leeds threads and came across this one - I currently work at Devonshire Halls (just for summer), so thought I'd answer some of the questions here.
First of all, this is what the numbers mean
Letter - Block
Number 1 - Floor
.
Number 2 - Flat
Number 3 - Room
Dev is set out as follows:
Main building (quads) are catered and the vast majority are shared bathroom and are the following blocks - A, B, C, D, North, South, N, O, P, Q, R. All of these with the exception of block R consist of between nine and eleven rooms, with a shared kitchen and a maximum of four students to each bathroom, however the shower and toilet are separate so can both be used at the same time. Block R has around 32/33 rooms, with a shared kitchen on each floor (there are three), can't remember the specifics of the showers & toilets however as a guide the university allocates a maximum of five students to one shared bathroom. All rooms which share a bathroom have a sink in the bedroom.
Grosvenor Court, all blocks are self catered apart from block E which is catered. Grosvenor Court is made up of Grosvenor A, B, C, D & E. All rooms are en-suite. Blocks A and B each have seven flats, two on each floor apart from the top floor which has one. With the exception of the top floor flats, in block A flats are of five and in block B they are of four (I think). The top floor flats are between five and eight students (I think). Block C has only two flats, each of five students. Block D I think has six flats, two on each floor across three floors. Block E has six flats, two flats of five each on floors one and two, a flat of eight on floor three and a flat of four or five on floor four. All rooms have either 4ft or double beds.
North Lawn, in which all blocks are self catered, consists of F, G, H, J & K. All of these flats have shared bathrooms, with a minimum of four students per flat. Any flat with five or more students has at least two toilets and sinks, but one shower and any flat of eight (of which I think there are two in North Lawn, will have two full bathrooms each with a shower, sink and toilet. All rooms in north lawn have a sink in the bedroom. All rooms have 4ft beds.
Annexes, which consist of Ruse House, Ridgefield House, Springhill House, Elmfield House, Coachouse and Old Hall. These are spread across the site, and with the exception of the coachouse and Old Hall, are all old houses that have been converted into student halls. All have shared bathrooms and are catered but all of them also have kitchens. The Coachouse is a building organised into four flats of between five and eight. Old Hall is where the warden lives and contains function rooms which are hired out by the university - however on the first and second floor there are student bedrooms, 9 in total (I think). All rooms have 4ft or double beds.
Orchards - a block across four floors, all with shared bathrooms, which is self catered. From memory, most flats are of six, with three on each floor, however the top floor (4) has only two flats - one of eight and one of four I think. All rooms have 4ft beds.
I hope the above has been able to answer some of your questions
