Mansion Point has been fully reconfigured by Self from four Manchester University student accommodation buildings of three, 3-storey buildings with cluster flats and shared bathrooms built around Allen Hall which had staff space, a dining hall, kitchens, student bar, and a chapel. The attractive accommodation in the four refurbished blocks provides 205 beds, of which 94 are studios and 111 cluster bedrooms.

Self have redesigned three of the buildings to form en-suite bedrooms with shared living/dining/kitchen facilities. A new floor has been created in the roof space, forming an additional 10 bedrooms in each building. The ground floor will have 9 en-suite rooms and 4 studios. The first and second floors will have 9 en-suite rooms and 5 studios. The central block (Allen Hall) has been converted to form 52 new studios, with a new mezzanine in the chapel and amenity spaces and a laundry in the basement.
