The Owlstone Croft project will deliver 13 new housing blocks built to Passivhaus standards. In addition to the new-build works, the project includes the refurbishment of Blocks A and B within the existing Queens鈥� College estate.
The 拢34.4m project will create 60 new bedrooms in the Owlstone Croft development and 87 refurbished bedrooms in Blocks A and B. 聽Designs include a mix of single and double bedrooms and refurbishment works include a caf茅 extension, gym extension, cycle store, and study and seminar room in Blocks A and B.
On track to complete in summer 2027, Owlstone Croft and Queens鈥� College refurbishment works will be constructed with a detailed masonry fa莽ade with reconstituted stone. Morgan Sindall will also use a cross-laminated timber (CLT) frame and mansard roof, creating full-height rooms under the roof.
Each of Owlstone Croft鈥檚 four terrace blocks are designed to a Passivhaus standard, with air source heat pumps and PV solar panels.聽
