Morgan Sindall has been appointed to construct two new executive accommodation buildings for the University of Reading‘s Henley Business School.
The high-quality accommodation development will be used by guests and clients of the Henley Business School, one of the top business schools in the world, and will complement the school’s existing accommodation in Thames Court.
The project marks a milestone for Morgan Sindall and is the tenth development that the company’s Fareham office has been appointed to, following its successful delivery of a number of key campus buildings.
The project, which was procured via University of Reading Framework, will involve the demolition of three existing buildings and removal of an on-site swimming pool.
The Morgan Sindall project team will be replacing these buildings with a two-storey building containing 30 executive en-suite bedrooms, and a three-storey building providing 30 executive en-suite bedrooms.
The new development will also feature offices and a fully-equipped communications room.
Both new buildings are set to achieve BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology) Very Good and are due to complete in early summer next year.
Tim Elliott, area manager from Morgan Sindall’s Fareham office, said: “We’re delighted to have been appointed to this project to deliver first-class accommodation for guests and clients attending the Henley Business School.
“The new development will provide spacious, comfortable, fully-equipped en-suite accommodation for Business School users which will complement the existing facilities on the campus.
“Henley is among an elite group of the most renowned business schools in the world, and we’re looking forward to continuing to work closely with the University of Reading to deliver accommodation appropriate for a school of this calibre.”
