Student Accommodation University of York
"Supporting the University of York’s “Campus for the Future” masterplan, we are delivering a major 1400-bed student accommodation project.
The £130m flagship scheme, which will help to transform the Heslington East Campus, began in November 2019 with scheduled completion ahead of the 2021 academic year.
We have adopted an off-site modular solution for our construction programme, a methodology that brings enhanced quality and delivery confidence to the ambitious residential scheme. In addition to influencing design in partnership with Sheppard Robson (architects), and executing the project build, we were also a key project investor as part of a consortium" - Grahams Project page www.graham.co.uk
