Sustainable Student Village

 

Details:

The plan is to build eco-friendly student accommodation virtually on campus by redeveloping an area at the back of campus, known as Listerhills, which would also include a business and innovation centre on adjacent land with medical facilities, a hotel and office space created as part of the wider Bradford regeneration. The work is to be primarily financed by an external partner, Mi7, which is a development company that owns the adjacent land. An agreement would be put in place with the University under which it can direct the quality of the accommodation and would also be responsible for filling the spaces by "nominating" students.

It is expected that there will be approximately 1,000 bed spaces styled as houses and traditional flat designs, the proportion of each will depend on planning requirements with a target ratio of 60/40 respectively. The SSV accommodation is likely to cost in the range of £35 million to £40 million. The aim is to encourage community engagement as part of the wider objective of providing an environment that is not only itself developed on sustainable principles with the ambition of being the first student accommodation to achieve a BREEAM rating of "outstanding", but will also promote sustainable living and support sustainability in learning and education.

Communal Building

Refurbishment of Communal Building/JB Priestley Building

Job No. A77812

Details:

A £4.5 million scheme will see major improvements including the installation of a translucent roof to enclose the existing courtyards and create over 1,000 square
metres of additional space. The plan is to transform ‘The Commie’ as it is affectionately known into a ‘Learning Atrium’, providing a variety of different spaces ranging from active social areas for groups to silent study areas for individuals. The building’s current layout will allow developers to create a ‘new student-centred active learning environment in an exciting and stimulating space’. Other features include a central sensory garden, roof terraces, more use of natural lighting thanks to the new roof, a café and the installation of wireless connectivity technology.

.“The refurbishment will see the creation of common corridors, such as the corridor of democracy, healthy living and support. The latter will see services like counselling and the advice centre move in next door to each other to offer a more joined-up experience.

“Another great aspect is the fact that we’ll make much better use of the amphitheatre – which will become the new entrance of the Students’ Union.”

Design Development ongoing, looking for a start date in Summer 2009.
