Vita Student's first residential development in the Midlands, the £25 project comprises a 115,000 sq ft building with 357 high-specification, self-contained studios and 6,500 sq ft of amenity-rich communal hub space on the ground floor. The building also boasts bookable private dining facilities, free-to-use bikes, study rooms, a gaming room, a cinema, and a gym.
Students have begun moving into the building as the new academic year gets underway.

Morgan Sindall Construction completed work on Vita Student's scheme based on designs by Glancy Nicholls Architects. Consultancy was also provided by Paragon Building Consultancy and BWB Consulting.
Richard Fielding, area director at Morgan Sindall Construction in the Midlands, said: "The higher education market in the Midlands is thriving. We have genuinely world-class institutions that are climbing the rankings tables year after year.
"Morgan Sindall Construction has deep expertise delivering both the high-specification R&D and teaching facilities universities depend on, and the modern living environments which a new generation of discerning students are demanding.
"The design, fit-out, and amenities of this new breed of student residential schemes are unrecognisable to those who lived in bleak halls of residence, or overcrowded house shares while studying.
"Vita Student is at the vanguard of providing this style of accommodation and we've established a great relationship with the company while working on multiple projects through its framework."
