It was opened in 1993 and is located in the town of St Andrews, Fife, Scotland. It has 519 bedrooms, of which 25 are shared. All are en-suite. Previously it was the only Hall in St Andrews to accommodate both catered and self-catered students, and catered students were in the significant majority. It currently provides residence for both catered and non-catered students.

Background
Architecture
Blackadder is laid out in a series of blocks overlooking quads. The main entrance to hall sits at the centre of these blocks, with the main facilities such as the reception, residence staff and Wardennial Team offices, café (the Forbes), common room (games room), dining hall, Prayer Room, Music Room and IT suite focused in this area. There are four floors, along which study bedrooms (both single and shared occupancy) run along an extensive network of corridors which span from the centre of hall outwards to the left and the right. Roughly ten students each share kitchen facilities which are commonly on the end of each sub-section of corridor.
