Sustainability

In our halls of residence, we try to do our best to be the most sustainable we can. We will be running sustainability campaigns on our @BrookesResidences Instagram with useful tips to reduce energy, waste and water consumption.

Throughout the year, we organise an interhall waste competition. This helps students to educate and improve their waste management habits (and you get a chance to win a pizza party for the most improved hall!).

Oxford Brookes is proudly part of the SOS-UK Green Impact scheme. 

We achieved a Bronze award for 2022/23 and achieved our Silver and Gold award for 2023/24! 

We will be continuing to grow and develop the scheme across our Halls of Residences for 2024/25.

Rewilding projects within our halls

In 2023 we created two more rewilding projects in the halls! These projects are an excellent opportunity to increase the biodiversity and transform spaces. They encourage a positive environmental hub for local flowers and wildlife across our halls of residence. The projects also positively impact the physical and mental wellbeing of our residents.

Following on from our rewilding project, as part of the Green Impact Scheme, we have introduced bee hotels across our Brookes Halls. If you are passing by, feel free to visit our hotels:

  • Clive Booth - Booth’s Bee & Bee
  • Crescent Hall - Ash-bee-lean Museum
  • Paul Kent Hall - Buzzingham Palace
  • Warneford Hall - Wingsor Castle
  • Westminster Hall - Bee-tanical Garden
