The sustainable student village, which will be called The Green, will open in September 2011 and house over 1,000 students. It is made up of 34 timber frame town houses and 101 apartments, positioned around a biodiversity pond, which reuses rain water.
Other key environmental features include extensive recycling facilities, energy monitor screens, low-energy fittings to minimise electricity consumption, washbasins and showers which are fitted with low-rate fittings and dual flush toilets.
The university is working with developers Listerhills SSV Limited and construction will be carried out by GB Building Solutions in a joint venture with Balfour Beatty Engineering Services.
The Green is the landmark development within a wider £150m Listerhills development. Alongside the student accommodation, planning permission has also been obtained to deliver managed workspace, academic and healthcare facilities and extensive public realm.
