UPP preferred bidder for Durham University accommodation project
UPP has been selected as the Preferred Bidder to develop, in partnership with Durham University, a detailed scheme proposition for the refurbishment of the College of St Hild and St Bede and the development of new college accommodation at the Leazes Road site.
One of the key drivers for this project for both Durham University and Durham City is to increase the proportion of students living in high quality university owned accommodation.
The site benefits from a south-facing aspect fronting on to the River Wear. It is also a short walk from the city centre and nearby Gilesgate area. The project is set to deliver 1,000 student beds.
