Only if access to the residents is provided by the ISP.
If the ISP/Carrier provides a link to the site, and the mine itself 
distributes that to their residents/staff, there is no obligation to 
retain that data. (IANAL, but the legislation makes that quite clear)

If an ISP or carrier provides a link to the office management entity (who 
is not an ISP or carrier), then there is no logging required.

I suspect student and staff access would be covered under the "immediate 
circle" rule and data need not be retained in this scenario either.

... and still assuming the entity providing that access *IS* an ISP or 
carrier..
