I'm an undergraduate student at Southampton University studying electronic engineering. From what I have heard so far, it started in the chip-fab area and spread to the joined Mountbatten building. Amazingly, the uni seems quite confident that the UG students will be unaffected - even though (I'm guessing) that half the lecturer's offices will be gone.
I think that everyone is really grateful to the emergency services for their hard work putting out the fire. From what we can gather, they were able to save the Zepler building - although the Mountbatten building was burnt to a crisp - pictures on the net show just a metal "shell" left over. Most of these pics are not hosted on./ proof services - hence why I'm not providing you with URLs (Sorry!!).
I think that everybodies sympathy should definately be with the Staff and Postgrad's. I know of some Postgrads who were months away from completing their PhD.
