Dear students,
We would like to inform you that due to the emergency repair of the roof damaged by last year's hailstorm at Vinařská dormitory, there is a change in the summer accommodation of Vinařská dormitory. We are forced to make this change in the interest of the comfort of students who would be disturbed by noise from the reconstruction. In addition to the roofing replacement, the roof sunbreaks on all buildings must be removed.
According to the new timetable, the Mánesova and Sladkého dormitories in Brno-Komárov will be open for students during the holidays, with a total capacity of 730 beds. In recent years, the interest of Masaryk University students in summer accommodation has been lower than the offered capacity. Last year, only 570 beds were used over the holidays, so this year the chosen capacity of the two open dormitories should be fully sufficient. We are prepared to open additional capacity in case of higher student demands.
The booking period for holiday accommodation for students starts on 1.6.2024, as previously announced.
Thank you for your understanding.
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.
