Project Description
6/2015The latest landmark in the University of Hull’s multimillion-pound campus upgrade programme is reached today (Tuesday 12 May) as work officially starts on a state-of-the-art accommodation development designed to give students the best possible living experience.
Designed in partnership with GSS Architecture, the development will provide high-quality accommodation for 560 students: mainly comprising eight-bedroom flats alongside a smaller number of four-bedroom flats, deluxe flats, studio flats and wheelchair-accessible flats, plus communal social and learning spaces. It will boast contemporary architecture alongside the latest technology and be set in landscaped grounds. It is anticipated that the new build’s first student tenants will take up residence in 2016. Walker Modular will commence first delivery of Bathroom Pods early September.
Spokesman M J Poole “We are delighted that we have been awarded this contract, this will give us the opportunity to work more with local contractors and suppliers within our home town. We have enjoyed working closely with Hull University & other local companies over the past 18 months during the design period building new business relationships”.
