Cost effective, no. The cost of a shuttle launch is quite a lot and you'd still need a way to get the crew up and down (or at least down). There was talk back in the day of converting an external tank into livable space; they already make it 95% of the way to orbit. However, launching a "wet" station like that comes with all kinds of complications.

The original Skylab plan was to be a wet station as well, but they couldn't figure out how to get all the unused propellant out and fittings in once it got to orbit. When a spare Saturn V turned up, they had enough extra power to just launched a dry station and be done with it.

They should probably manufacture them so that when the do finish being a space shuttle they can be bolted on to the existing structure .. sort of a phase 2 version of itself.
