The landmark site is being redeveloped as a Vita student village and includes the refurbishment of a former ‘listed’ convent building.
The 6.3-acre site, within walking distance of the city centre, will offer 649 beds to accommodate the city’s growing student population. The design includes the sensitive refurbishment of the existing convent to provide student accommodation and ancillary facilities and the construction of a 2-storey infirmary wing extension. An additional 14 three and four-storey buildings with a total developed area of over 200,000sqft will be constructed within extensive landscaped grounds included in the scheme.
