Two dormitories with 789 beds will be offered to students during this summer. Starting on 1 June students can contact accommodation assistant of the dormitory Sladkého in Komárov or the A1 dormitory at Vinařská.
In recent years the demand for accommodation during summer was lower than the total capacity offered. “Last year only 570 beds were occupied so the capacity assigned for this year should be more than enough. In case of any last-minute increase in demand we will be able to open the A2 or A3 building at Vinařská,” says head of accommodation of the Accommodation and Catering Services of Masaryk University Renata Pavlicová.
Renovations are fully underway at dormitories Kounicova a Bří. Žůrků while other dormitories will undergo regular summertime repairs and maintenance, such as wall painting or partial flooring repairs.
Increased capacity and higher chances for first-year students – that is the improved reality for students in this academic year. Even more beds will become available once the major renovations of the Kounicova dormitory are finished before the start of the next academic year, and new student housing projects are scheduled at the Vinařská complex or in the Bohunice campus.
The Security Emergency Board of Masaryk University decided on Thursday, 12 September, to carry out preventive evacuation of the dormitories at Sladkého and Bří. Žůrků in Komárov, where some students had already moved in. According to original estimates Brno was to expect 100-year flood and the situation on the Svitava River in the Komárov area was expected to include the flooding of the dormitories and power and water outages. For the same reasons and out of security concerns MU decided that the move-in day at all remaining dormitories be delayed.
