Student Centre and University Squares Project
The Student Centre and University Squares Project was the final stage in the implementation of our £200 million Estates Masterplan 2015 – 2022. This project supported the Masterplan vision to create a world-class campus in Preston and create stronger links with the local community, helping create a healthy, safe, active and sustainable campus. The project achieved its objectives to draw the city and the University together, to provide a single hub for various student services, to produce a gateway to campus, and to deliver a large square for corporate and community events.
Project outcomes
- The facility achieved a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating (70.47%).
- The building achieved an Energy Performance Certificate ‘A’ rating.
- The building has a number of innovative design features including a cross laminated timber floor structure. The glass wall at the front of the Student Centre is believed to be the highest single span continuous curtain walling system in Europe, at 13.5 metres high and 100 metres in length.
