Not in ours there weren't. Yes, some of my colleagues were in such modern halls, I wasn't. Most of our rooms were hundreds of years old - with windows whose poor fit suggested they might be original* (and we had a flipping cold winter while I was there too).
As they say, experiences vary. From what I can recollect, all the ones (in London) in which I lived, and the many others I visited (and most Nurses' homes I visited!) were either fairly modern builds (relatively uncommon) or else were old buildings which had been fairly recently 'refurbished'. Kitchens, 'laundry rooms' and sometimes other shared facilities were pretty common - maybe at least in part in an attempt to limit what people tried to do in the 'study bedrooms'!
