A former medical centre has been transformed into accommodation for more than 50 students.
The former Cripps Health Centre, in University Boulevard, opened in 1969 and served members of the public and students for nearly half a century.
But it closed and a new centre opened at the top of Cripps Hill, between Lenton and Wortley Hall, last September just a short distance away.
This offers health and dental care and features minor operations suites, physiotherapy areas, treatment rooms and a pharmacy.
University bosses have converted the original building into a facility, providing a total of 51 rooms with living facilities across two floors.
Students have moved in and the university recently submitted conversion plans to the city council in the form of a retrospective planning appplication.
“We have converted the former Cripps Health Centre to create 50 new rooms to create Lower Cripps Hall as a new annex to our Cripps Hall," said a University of Nottingham spokeswoman.
"Students are already living in the newly refurbished building.
"The building was no longer in use as all active practices from the previous health centre have now relocated into a new, larger development just up the hill on University Park Campus, which can offer medical and health facilities to an increased number of patients.”
