SCS completes work on student accommodation

Specialist Cladding Systems (SCS), a division of CA Group Limited, has today announced that it has completed work on a new development of student accommodation in Leicester.

SCS worked closely with main contractor Winvic to deliver four separate buildings comprising 567 studios/cluster apartments, together with Maber Architects for client Viridis Real Estate and CRM Student Management.

The development is located on the site of the former Midlands bus depot and will provide accommodation for students attending De Montfort University.

The buildings feature 3,200m2 of Sarnafil single ply roof membrane, together with 700m of aluminium copings and 100m of aluminium fascia and soffits, all of which were manufactured in-house by CA Building Products. Health and safety for anyone working at height on the site has been assured through the inclusion of a fall arrest system around the perimeter of the roof area.

Mike Cinnamond, Divisional Manager for SCS, commented: “This is our second project with Winvic delivering student accommodation. Our expertise in the design and application of specialist cladding, backed by the wider CA Group, which is able to manage the quick and efficient manufacture and delivery of quality materials to site, with minimum disruption, ensures a seamless partnership.”
