Tennis Courts, Birmingham University
Designed by architects, Stephen George & Partners, the design and build scheme will see Ocon working on a live campus site to deliver the 140-unit scheme in time for the 2012/13 academic year, with completion scheduled for September 2012.
The campus already has 30 student accommodation blocks, all of which will be occupied throughout the programme.
A lightweight steel frame construction with a brick and curtain walling envelope, the new development will provide a mix of studio accommodation and en-suite study bedrooms in 4/5 bedroom clusters, each with their own kitchen and dining/living area. In addition to construction of the four blocks, the programme will also include a new district heating scheme and diversion of services from the existing blocks to the new district heating network.
