Building works that will affect residences
The University of Exeter continually invests in its properties to provide new facilities and upgrade existing ones.
Work is carefully programmed to avoid disruption to students, particularly during exam periods. However, on occasion there will be some unavoidable disturbance or inconvenience to students.
We will notify you in advance of any significant building works which are in close proximity to your residence and further details will be made available on our website.
If you are concerned about any building works which may be scheduled to take place near your accommodation, please contact the Accommodation Office for information. The University will take all reasonable steps to keep disruption to a minimum and does not give any rent rebates or compensation.
Works planned and ongoing for 2025/26 & 2026/27
West Park
We are building our new West Park student residences on the Streatham Campus in the Clydesdale area between Holland Hall, Birks Grange Village and Nash Grove. Holland Hall, Mardon Hall and Nash Grove E-F blocks are in close proximity to the construction area.
We expect students to move in to Phase One of the new accommodation by September 2027, and Phase Two by September 2028.
Birks Grange Village
We are refurbishing Birks Grange catered accommodation to create self-catered bedrooms and construct a new student residence
block where the previous dining block was located. Birks Grange Village self-catered accommodation blocks are in close proximity
to the construction area.
We expect students to move into the new accommodation by September 2027.
Al Qasimi research and teaching building
A new research and teaching building is proposed to extend from the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies (IAIS) in to the Jubilee Gardens. This development is in close proximity to Mardon Hall and Holland Hall and is proposed to start from Summer 2026 (subject to change). For more information and an update on timescales, please click here.
Other works may take place on an ad-hoc basis throughout the year but at this stage, we are only aware of the works above. The University will take all reasonable steps to make sure that disruption is minimised, where possible, and we will inform residents in advance of works with as much notice as possible.
