=== Student housing ===
Brunel's £250 million campus redevelopment programme, completed in 2008, refurbished existing halls and the built the new Isambard Complex. There are 34 self-catering halls of residence on-campus, with a total of 4,549 rooms, including studio flats for co-habiting couples. Rooms are available for undergraduates, postgraduates, students with disabilities and co habiting couples. All rooms have network access.
Many of the halls of residence around the Uxbridge campus are named after bridges that Isambard Kingdom Brunel either built or helped to design; other halls are named after him or other notable engineers or scientists. For example:
Clifton Hall (after the Clifton Suspension Bridge)
Saltash Hall (after the Royal Albert Bridge that crosses the River Tamar at Saltash)
Chepstow Hall (after the bridge across the River Wye at Chepstow)
Fleming Hall (after Sir Alexander Fleming)
Faraday Hall (after Sir Michael Faraday)
Galbraith Hall (after W R Galbraith, who designed the Kew Railway Bridge)
Mill Hall (after John Stuart Mill)
There are also three accommodation complexes: the Bishop Complex (Bishop, Kilmorey, Lacy and St Margaret's Halls); the Lancaster Complex (Lancaster, Stockwell, Southwark, Borough Road, Maria Grey and Gordon Halls); and the Isambard Complex (North, Meadow, Michael Bevis, Concourse, Stephen Bragg, West, Maurice Kogan, David Neave, Central, East, Runnymede, George Shipp, Trevor Slater, Shoreditch, Syd Urry, South and Brian Winstanley Halls).
