County Down headquartered, GRAHAM has achieved a milestone by completing the third core of Bath Street PBSA complex that will create 551 new student beds in Glasgow.
Each core is 36 metres tall and the third core was finished by GRAHAM and its frame partner, Hampsey Ltd, in less than eight weeks.
Students will benefit from luxury communal amenities including a gym, a gaming arcade, dining spaces and social areas set across 16,390 square foot.
The development replaces a vacant 1970’s office block and will offer a contemporary design with glazed frontage, complementing the existing streetscape.
The new complex sits adjacent to an existing iQ Student Accommodation block, Elgin Place, which includes 323 beds, also delivered by GRAHAM.
Gary Holmes, Regional Managing Director at GRAHAM Building North, said: "We're really pleased with the significant progress being made at Bath Street since works commenced in July.
"The critical demand for new student homes across the city is an ongoing conversation and the new offering at 225 Bath Street will help to bridge the gap between supply and demand for students in Glasgow."
The wider project team also includes architects Cooper Cromar, engineering consultant, Woolgar Hunter, project manager, Atkins Realis and cost consultants Cumming Group.
