Hayashi

Second year+, self-catered. Facility provided by the University of Canterbury, and operated by UniLodge.

Hayashi is a purpose-built facility completed in 2018 of 16 two-storey townhouses to accommodate individual students and couples in their second year of study and beyond. It is located on the Dovedale campus adjacent to Sonoda and approximately 15 minutes' walk to main campus facilities.

Although identical in appearance there are two layouts totalling 90 rooms including 10 self-contained units. One layout contains five rooms on two floors. The second layout contains five rooms plus a self-contained unit. Three townhouses have wheelchair accessible facilities. Each house offers shared kitchen, living, bathroom, and laundry facilities and is thermally insulated with energy efficient appliances. Depending on demand, alcohol-free and/or single-gender townhouses are available.
