Education

Student accommodation presents unique challenges for building developers and managers, requiring expertise to maintain effective mechanical and electrical systems. Box and Charnock’s skill lies in delivering high performing solutions for purpose-built student accommodation, while ensuring running costs are kept to a minimum. Understanding the ways in which students will use the buildings is key, as it allows our design and installation teams to provide the comfort and function required for every project.

Delivering an Experience

There are around 1.8 million full-time students in the UK and over 625,000 purpose-built bed spaces. The vast majority of new accommodation has been delivered by the private sector in recent years and students now expect facilities and standards far beyond what their parents’ generation once knew. Developers and landlords need to provide spaces that are well-designed, comfortable and affordable, and effective design and maintenance of mechanical and electrical services plays a vital role in delivering this experience.
