Refashioned cell providing student accommodation (4,2,9)
I believe the answer is:
hall of residence
'student accommodation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'refashioned cell providing' is the wordplay.
'providing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'refashioned'+'cell'='refashionedcell'
'refashionedcell' with letters rearranged gives 'HALL OF RESIDENCE'.
(Other definitions for hall of residence that I've seen before include "place at university" , "College living quarters" , "student accommodation" , "student digs" , "university accommodation" .)
