Hall Facilities
The hall has a variety of facilities that residents can use, see below to find out more about these facilities.
Open JCR
Closed JCR
This is the main common room, at the centre of the hall. People often meet there to assemble before communal dinner, and to relax with a cup of tea or coffee after dinner whilst having an insightful debate. There are several cosy chairs along with a large wooden table. In addition, there is a table tennis table with the racquets and balls in the foyer.
A study room with several large tables and more than a dozen chairs. Students often study in this room. The room is also used as a meeting room; Every Monday the JCR committee holds meetings here.
Snooker Room
The Jordaan Room
Located down a flight of stairs outside, under the Closed JCR, the Snooker Room is one of Slems’s hidden gems. With a full-sized snooker table, chalk and two house cues you will find everything you need to play a game or two. To access it you will need to borrow a key from the Sports Secretary.
A ‘hangout’ room fitted with a flat screen TV and several sofas. It's a great place to go and watch a football or rugby game, or have a film night.
The Jordaan room (previously the Packard room) is named after Slemsman Han Jordaan who was captured whilst working for the Secret Service during World War 2. Jordaan was subsequently killed at Mauthausen concentration camp.
