In response to the Covid-19 lockdown students have constructed their campus.
The University of East Anglia (UEA) fresher Sophie Johnston, 19, used planning software to recreate the campus by playing the video game Minecraft.
She was assisted by three housemates, Rebecca Bystry (20), Tom Greensted (19) and Matthew Wright (19).
The "campus" has been visited by more than 200 students. It is still being built.
Ms. Johnston stated that she agrees that universities are missing the social aspect, which allows people to get to know each other from different backgrounds.
"The server has helped us keep in touch with each others, and also get to know people we wouldn't have met in real life. It has been good for everyone's mental wellbeing during lockdown."
Students have constructed locations such as the Ziggurat accommodation the main square, LCR music venue, UEA(su) and the library of the Norwich-based university.
The four students who act as administrators for the server all have different roles with Ms Johnston and Ms Bystry, building the structures, and Mr Wright responding to player queries via phone calls and text chats, with Mr Greensted, who has taught himself coding and is responsible for troubleshooting.
Risks
The campus was constructed using Minecraft's creative mode. This means that students were able to access all the resources the game has to offer.
With the assistance of other players they are working on the interiors for some buildings.
Ms. Johnston said: "Since we're first years and haven't visited all of the structures, we've had to take advantage of the help of staff, students and alumni who've shared photos to help us- there's been a lot of talking about the past!"
