Information
Situated next to the College of North West London, a .32 hectare site is the location of a striking new building designed to provide modern accommodation to students. Split into three wings around a central spiral-shaped tower, the 19-story development offers views towards Wembley Stadium and the close proximity to Wembley Park Tube station. Mace is the main contractor on the project and has utilised modular construction techniques to deliver an accelerated completion.
The building contains 438 student rooms with en-suite facilities and features buildings at different heights to respond to neighbouring lower residential and commercial buildings and nearby amenities. Two of the wings are designed to be partially clad in blue cladding panels complimenting the main cladding in silver. Biomass boilers are incorporated within a central plant room. Features include a double-height entrance, a launderette, management offices and extensive bicycle parking. Two landscaped amenity areas-one for gatherings and one for a quiet garden-provide ample space for residents to enjoy the outdoors.
