AUB Finds Contractor For New Accommodation Scheme
Construction work is set to get underway on a landmark residential development at Arts University Bournemouth (AUB).
Morgan Sindall Construction has been appointed to deliver the scheme, which will see a new 300-bed student accommodation development built on site.
The accommodation will feature eight bed clusters with communal kitchen and dining areas in three and four storey buildings, which will centre around a landscaped courtyard.
Most of the student homes will have en suite facilities and the development will emphasise sustainability, with upgraded pedestrian and cycle routes to connect the site with the nearby bus hub and other areas.
This scheme forms part of a major redevelopment of AUB's main campus.
Nick Welch, Chief Operating Officer at Arts University Bournemouth, commented: "This project continues to add to Arts University Bournemouth's state-of-the-art campus and we are delighted to be once again working with Morgan Sindall Construction.
"The AUB campus is where our students experiment, innovate and push boundaries and work with industry-standard technology and spaces to equip them for life in the creative industries. With this project, we hope to provide a home for our students where they can thrive, whilst continuing to provide a creative hub, designed for specialists."
Jon Daines, area director for Morgan Sindall Construction, added: "We're delighted to be continuing our long-standing partnership with AUB, which spans more than nine years, with our appointment to this landmark scheme. The new development will provide students with high quality accommodation, ideally located at the heart of AUB's main campus.
"Our team is well versed and experienced in delivering outstanding education projects and working safely and effectively on live sites. We look forward to bringing this wide ranging experience to bear on this project and delivering a fantastic scheme which will complement and enhance the existing campus."
Morgan Sindall secured the scheme via the Southern Construction Framework.
The scheme is scheduled for completion in summer 2020.
