Transforming 果冻影院: Work continues on Astor College
8 March 2017
Transformation works to Astor College Halls of Residence have entered a significant stage with the arrival of a 118ft-tall crane on site.
The installation of the crane coincides with the start of piling works, as the foundations for a new extension are embedded. Alongside the new build, the existing Charlotte Street building is being refurbished, with almost three quarters of the strip out completed and 80% of the scaffolding installed to undertake improvements.
The 拢22million refurbishment and extension of the student residence will create space for 291 people, with ensuite accommodation and fully accessible rooms for disabled students. In addition, new 'cluster blocks' will create shared spaces and develop a sense of community. Recreational facilities,听including an integrated caf茅,听will be introduced on the ground floor.
Due for completion in September 2018, its construction听includes some of the latest sustainable technologies, helping to reduce 果冻影院's environmental impact.听
The project is part of 果冻影院's extensive building and refurbishment programme - Transforming 果冻影院, designed to create sustainable spaces that meet 果冻影院's world-class aspirations and commitment to excellence and innovation.听
An investment of more than 拢1.2 billion is being committed over the next 10 years to refurbish and develop the university's iconic buildings while also constructing new, world-class facilities.
