Flats Proposal Falls Through

A proposal for a Government-subsidised block of flats for Victoria University Women students has fallen through.

This news closely followed a decision by the University Council to give strong backing to Women Students Hostel Society's attempts to acquire the Ambassador Flats.

A Ministry of Works inspection of the building has shown that it is structurally unsatisfactory and not readily adaptable for student flats.

The 31 year-old block of six self-contained flats immediately to the rear of Victoria House would have provided accommodation for up to 20 women students.
