Temporary Student Accommodation

Bunkabin provides high-quality, en-suite student sleeping accommodation; the perfect solution should a university or college require additional living space for their students. The units cater to students’ every need and place comfort and practicality at their heart. Our portable student accommodation is provided through The Student Village Company.

We do the simple things right so that the students and, sometimes more importantly, their parents, are happy. Each cabin is hand-built and engineered for living accommodation, with health and safety of utmost importance.

We offer planned short, medium or even long-term accommodation, enabling you to either increase your student numbers or as an alternative to building new halls. Our portable accommodation units are ideal for ensuring business continuity and efficient disaster recovery after an unfortunate event; for example, a fire in student halls or living accommodation falling into disrepair.

How Bunkabin can help with temporary accommodation

Bunkabin’s temporary student accommodation is designed to offer a flexible, stylish and practical solution for students. Whether it’s for short-term stays or the full academic year, our modular cabin units provide everything students need to rest, study and socialise.

Comfort and privacy

With spacious interiors and well-thought-out amenities, students can feel at home during their stay, whether they’re full-time students or attending on a shorter contract.

Each of our portable units is equipped with the same facilities as permanent accommodation, including:

• Comfortable bed and storage space
• Low-energy mains pressure shower
• En-suite toilet and sink
• Wardrobe and shelving for organisation
• Personal workstation for studying

Meeting short-term accommodation needs quickly

Universities and colleges often face unexpected challenges, such as higher-than-anticipated enrolment numbers, delays in completing new-build halls or emergencies requiring disaster recovery. Bunkabin’s modular cabin units are the perfect solution, as they can be deployed efficiently, even with just a few weeks’ notice. These units are available for short-term stays or long-term hires for full academic year students, depending on the needs of the institution and its students.

Our cabins are ideal for summer student accommodation, providing a practical and reliable option for institutions needing short-term solutions during the summer period. We also offer units for shorter contract lengths, which makes them perfect for students who require accommodation for the remaining academic year or on a flexible basis.

For summer student accommodation, we provide options that fit perfectly with shorter tenancy agreements, allowing universities to house students temporarily while offering a high standard of living. This is particularly useful during the summer period, when accommodation is required for short-term students or those transitioning between academic years.

Bunkabin has a proven track record of helping educational institutions solve their accommodation challenges quickly and with minimal disruption. Our short-term student accommodation solutions are suitable for a range of scenarios, from meeting the needs of full-time students to accommodating those on shorter tenancies. We have also supported universities during the summer period, providing summer student accommodation to cater to students attending seasonal courses or needing temporary housing.

If you’re looking for adaptable and short-term stays or longer-term solutions, Bunkabin’s portable units offer a practical choice for both universities and colleges. Contact us to learn how we can help and read through our case studies.

Why choose Bunkabin?

Our ethos is 'to treat others as you would like to be treated', and this is especially true when it comes to our portable living accommodation. We know how difficult it is for universities and colleges to house huge numbers of students, keep them happy and make sure everything goes smoothly - particularly at the start of the academic year around September and October. This is why we do all we can to make sure working with us is as simple, enjoyable and as efficient as possible.

Our vast experience in this area means we know just what students want from their living accommodation, which is reflected in the quality and style of our units.

Our temporary student accommodation is hand-built in our purpose-built factory in Oldham and, thanks to our two depots and state-of-the-art lorry fleet, we are able to help universities and colleges across the UK.

Solving problems is something we do best. Whether a university urgently requires additional accommodation, or in the unlikely event that something goes wrong with delivery, we are determined to address the issue quickly and efficiently.
