Working with the Unite Group, the leading developer and manager of student accommodation in the UK, K2 Consultancy have been appointed as Project Manager, Cost Consultant & Employer’s Agent for a landmark 1001 bedroom scheme which also incorporates a coach park in Stratford City, East London. The project will provide stunning views over the Olympic Park, offering a high standard accommodation to UK and International students studying in London.
The Building is a concrete frame structure overcladd with a precast concrete cladding panel which includes cast in brick slips and feature projecting windows. The bedrooms are being constructed traditionally but with off site manufactured bathroom pods from the UK. The Entrance into the building will be impressive with a two storey high space, sweeping stair case and glass lift which will lead to a mezzanine area offering various different zones for student study, socialising and games areas. The whole project is being built to a new Unite Specification which not only reduces the overall costs but also increases the quality of the rooms and common areas.
The Project team includes BDP, HCD Architects, Applied Energy, MPN Structural Engineers and is being constructed by the construction arm of Westfield Shopping Centres.
Last week, K2 staff went to visit the construction site and were pleased to see how well it was coming along. We were given a tour through the building, trying to visualise the final outcome of this exciting project.
