The client required a new 1,100 bed student accommodation comprising of three residential tower blocks ranging from 9-19 storeys. The objective was to create a superior student living environment whilst keeping energy bills low, with a target BREEAM rating of ‘Excellent’. A short build time was essential so that the accommodation could be brought into service as soon as possible. The flexibility to convert the building to another use at the end of the 38 year lease was also a consideration.
