LONDON (Alliance News) - Galliford Try PLC Wednesday said it has secured two new contracts in the student accommodation sector worth a combined GBP102.0 million.
The construction group said its building division has been selected to construct a new GBP62.0 million property to be called Park View Student Village under a contract awarded by Newcastle University. The project will replace the existing buildings in Richardson Road which were constructed back in the 1970s.
The new project will be able to house 1,279 bedrooms over six buildings, which will range from four to ten storeys high. Galliford said there would also be associated infrastructure, including a new "energy centre" for the student village.
The second contract covers the construction of the GBP40.0 million scheme for Coventry University. The scheme at Godiva Place in Coventry will create a facility with 770 bedrooms with ancillary support facilities, alongside car and cycle parking for students. The contract was awarded by developer Regents Godiva.
