Our first postgraduate targeted scheme
We've reached a major milestone in the construction of our new 271-bed property in Nottingham.
The super-structure of Bromley Place, which is due to open for the start of the 2024/25 academic year, is now complete. The project team and stakeholders celebrated with a topping out ceremony.
This is our first new-build property designed for postgraduate students. It will include newly designed bedrooms, which include bathroom pods with larger showers, and host impressive amenity and study space, including a roof terrace.
Senior Project Manager, Adrian Muir, said: “Today represents the topping out of Bromley Place, in that we’ve now achieved the completion of the super structure. The team has gathered, collected as one to appreciate and celebrate the fact we’ve made this landmark on time and on programme. It’s a great achievement.
“This will represent the first postgraduate targeted scheme for Unite Students.”
