Originally developed earlier, Lakeside underwent major refurbishment in September 2019 and now offers approximately 647 beds across a 15-storey building.

The accommodation also includes a variety of communal facilities designed to support both study and social life. Shared areas include pool tables, sofas and seating areas where students can relax with friends, while dedicated study rooms provide quieter academic environments. Printing facilities add further convenience for university work. Additional amenities include WiFi, secure electronic entry systems, CCTV coverage, on-site management and maintenance teams, cleaning services, lifts, vending machines, bike storage, laundry facilities and communal lounges. Fully furnished rooms, kitchen facilities and contents insurance are also included, creating a comfortable and practical student living environment in central Birmingham.
