Experienced student accommodation contractor Miller Construction has secured projects to deliver a £12 million 258-bed student accommodation block on behalf of S Harrison Developments for York St John University, and a multi-million 120-bed extension to Jarratt Hall for the University of Birmingham.
The new residencies for York St John University, on a derelict site in Carmelite Street, York, next to the city’s Hungate development, will be car-free, with students living within easy walking distance of all the city’s amenities. It is due to be completed in June 2013.
Expected to achieve a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating, the student block is the third project Miller Construction has undertaken within the boundaries of York’s City Walls.
The project at Jarratt Hall features an extension to the existing student accommodation and part new build. Due for completion in September 2013, the Jarratt Hall building is also expected to achieve a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating.
Chris Webster the chief executive at Miller Construction said: “These contracts are in line with our strategy to focus our efforts on our core markets. We are continuing to focus on programmes of work with repeat clients, in addition to increasing our client base. We have delivered a number of successful student accommodation projects over the last three years, further reinforcing our skills and expertise in this market.”
