Design
Part of a 400,000 sqf addition to Campus East consisting of 1,480 beds and costing £130 million, David Kato College along with Anne Lister College form a new student accommodation centre.[5] David Kato consists of 9 blocks arranged over 3 to 4 floors with a central community Hub containing study spaces, a laundry room, and social spaces.[6] The design focuses on modern design principles and sustainability but also borrows some architectural elements from existing buildings on campus such as the university's iconic 1960s covered walkways.[5]
Services
David Kato has a range of room types, all of which are ensuite. Each room has access to a communal kitchen shared by 6-10 people. While the rooms are classed as self-catered, like other Campus East colleges students can attend the weekly college meals held in the Piazza Building, which is included with rent.[7]
College shield
The college shield was one of 22 entries to a competition to design it. The scroll has the phrase 'A luta continua', which translates as 'the struggle continues'. It has connections to David Kato from its use by his supporters at his funeral, but is not the motto of the college.[8]
