Chris Pape, Managing Director of the firm’s UK regional building division said: “Both the student accommodation and the fire station will pose their own individual challenges which will require all of our expertise”
The student accommodation will be divided into two sections, the first will have 107 en-suite bedrooms, 40 studios and one disabled bedroom, the other section will include 274 en-suite bedrooms, 117 studios and one flat.
The fire station will involve the design and build of a new station with three fire appliance bays and ancillary accommodation.
The two projects will run in tandem and will involve working in partnership with architects Morgan 2 Hayman as well as structural engineers Jubb Consulting to ensure that completion is to the highest standard.
