James Topp Nelson Yankah Hall
Modern student living on the University of Ghana, Legon campus — 960 beds, four connected blocks and one lively central courtyard. Owned and managed by TF Properties Ltd, a subsidiary of The Teachers’ Fund (GNAT).
Student Living, Redefined on Legon Campus
James Topp Nelson Yankah Hall is a privately owned hall of residence on the University of Ghana, Legon campus, developed and managed by TF Properties Ltd — a subsidiary of The Teachers’ Fund (GNAT).
Four blocks are knitted together by a tunnel to enclose a generous central court, so residents live as one community rather than in four separate buildings. Sited off the Atomic Junction–Haatso Road beside the University’s Botanical Garden, the Hall keeps lectures, the University Library, computer areas, the gym and campus shops within an easy walk — and a dedicated shuttle service runs students to and from campus.
With 24-hour water, a 640KVA standby generator, round-the-clock security and residential assistants on call, it is built for students who want to focus on their studies and still love where they live.
WHY STUDENTS CHOOSE THE HALL
Built Around How Students Actually Live
Four blocks, one courtyard and 960 beds — designed so that where you sleep, study and socialise is never a compromise.
Everything Within Walking Distance
Set off the Atomic Junction–Haatso Road beside the University’s Botanical Garden, the Hall keeps lectures, the University Library, computer areas, the gym and campus shops a short walk away — with a shuttle service for the days you would rather ride.
Four Blocks, One Courtyard
A tunnel knits the four blocks into a single hall wrapped around a big central court. You get the privacy of your own room and the energy of a 960-strong student community right outside your door.
Power, Water and Security, 24/7
A 640KVA Cummins standby generator, 24-hour water from public mains and our own reverse-osmosis plant, plus round-the-clock security and residential assistants on call. Study nights stay uninterrupted.
