West Park Student Residences Project

West Park Student Residences Project

The University is seeking to increase the density of accommodation on Streatham Campus and build new, modern, purpose-built student living facilities.

This will reduce pressure on the University seeking third party accommodation providers in the city and allow the institution to continue offering students an excellent on-campus living experience.

The project will also look at the conversion of catered to self-catered accommodation blocks in the Birks Grange Village complex.

This will include redeveloping the reception, catered dining halls and the Market Place Village Shop (Birks Grange Central Block) into further accommodation and amenity space including study, social and in-house commercial space. The catered Birks Grange blocks A-E will undergo a refurbishment and will provide modern self-catered accommodation once completed.

New accommodation is also proposed on the site of the University’s Grounds Compound, which will be relocated from the west of campus to the north east, at the top of Rennes Drive.

UPP have been appointed as the preferred contractor to design, build, fund and operate the new accommodation.

As the appointed contractor, UPP will refine the designs and plans for the new development, complete planning requirements and finalise the funding of the scheme.
