APP Construction appointed to £4m sheffield student accommodation scheme

Leeds-based APP Construction has won a contract to construct a £4m, 63-bed student accommodation scheme for developer KMRE Group Ltd in Sheffield.

Located on Trippet Lane in the city centre, work is set to begin on site in September with the project due for completion in time for the 2017/18 academic year.

The seven-storey scheme comprises a mixture of studios and one, two and three-bedroom apartments with a gym, meeting rooms, a secure courtyard, a common room and a private cinema room.

John White, APP Construction director, said: “We’re looking forward to getting up and running following the completion of an extensive archaeological survey at the site.

“This modern scheme will offer Sheffield’s university population some of the highest quality accommodation when it is finished next year.”

The site is situated close to the University of Sheffield’s North Campus, and is owned by Empiric Student Property plc.

The all-Leeds team on the project also includes Niemen Architects, Voke Consulting and Simba Consulting.
