BackgroundWelholme House is the Grimsby Institute’slatest Halls of Residence, recentlyrefurbished in 2009 from an old historicbuilding into a high-quality academicresidence. With costs reaching around£700,000 for the project, this reflectsthe scale of the development and themodernisation process undertaken to makeit one of the most desirable places to livein the area. The project took only threemonths to complete from start to finish,with teams of tradesman working aroundthe clock to finish the accommodation intime for the start of the 2009 academicyear. Many of the existing features ofthe property remain, including the highwindows and ceilings, the original oakstaircase and the ‘Coach House’ at therear of the property that provides separateprivate accommodation on the same site.Main Features (Main Building)Welholme House can accommodate 21 residents across one single and 10 twin sharedrooms. All rooms are ensuite to give learners the benefit of greater privacy and flexibilityin terms of using the amenities. All rooms are very large to ensure that those sharing havemore than enough space for each other, with each room having high ceilings and largewindows. The site itself is split into two areas, the main building itself and the ‘CoachHouse’ at the rear. The main building has 13 of the 21 available beds across six shared twinrooms and one single room, which includes full disabled access.On the ground floor there is a learner common room complete with leather sofas and adigital TV for the occupants to use at their leisure. The kitchen is also on the ground floorin the main building and is completely stainless steel, with two large cookers, a centralisland for preparation, three large fridges and a dining area adjoining the kitchen forlearners to sit and eat together if they wish (this accommodation is self catered).Opposite the kitchen is the laundry room where ample facilities to suit the accommodation.Also, there is a separate washroom and toilet for communal use complete with disabledfacilities.
