STUDENT HOSTEL E/1 NOW REFURBISHED, READY TO HOUSE STUDENT ATHLETES

In 2024 the University of Miskolc and the University of Debrecen will be joint hosts of the European University Games. One step in improving the university infrastructure has been to upgrade student accommodations, beginning with Student Hostel E/1.

The cost of the internal refurbishment was over HUF one billion for about 5,300 square metres of living space.

Infrastructural development is important to the university, as part of its tradition and modernization, and this investment will allow UM not only to house participants in the University Games, but also meet the expectations of students and accommodate the growing number of international students.

The hostel can also host visitors to campus.

The PPP (public-private partnership) arrangement that previously existed for the students hostels has been dissolved, freeing up some funds for work such as replacing the windows, redoing the flooring,  bathrooms and kitchens, switching entirely to energy saving lighting, and modernizing various systems (controlling the entrance, fire and smoke alarms, and security systems).
