The new house contained thirty bed-sitters on three floors, built around a central spiral stairway. A common room linked the new building with the War Memorial Library. At the back of the Library were built a small flat and domestic offices. Sixty girls moved in from the beginning of the 1972 Winter term and the boarding house was officially opened on 28 October 1972 by Mrs Haywood.
