Mansell, a Balfour Beatty brand, has commenced a £8.8 million fast-track fit out of two halls of residence for Loughborough University.
The first phase of work involves the refurbishment and upgrade of the Eggington halls of residence. The second phase will see improvement works at the nearby Falkner site.
The existing halls of residence, which were originally constructed in 1974, are made up of 73 two and three-storey accommodation blocks. One bedroom from each of the three-storey blocks will be removed to provide enhanced communal living and kitchen space.
A full refurbishment of the halls, sub-warden flats, reception and games room will be completed. This will include asbestos removal, mechanical and electrical upgrades together with the fitting of new floors, ceilings, kitchens and bathrooms. In addition, furniture, fixtures and fittings will be replaced and the blocks redecorated. A new ‘social hub’ will include a launderette, together with bicycle and bin storage facilities.
This recent appointment increases Mansell’s portfolio at Loughborough University with work underway to deliver a new state-of-the-art Health Exercise and Bioscience building which will serve as a new National Centre for Sport and Exercise Medicine.
The new accommodation will be ready by September 2013 with the second phase due to complete by December 2013. Work will follow in the New Year by work to replace exterior doors and windows, re-roofing and landscaping.
