Minerva House, Nottingham

DMS Architecture have worked closely with the contractor – Beaumont Morgan Developments Ltd – and other consultants following the grant of planning permission in April 2013 to develop a detailed construction package for the proposed conversion of the existing six-storey building in the centre of Nottingham. The completed project will provide 155 student bedrooms, predominantly self-contained studios; plus associated communal facilities such as an entertainment lounge, gymnasium, laundry and concierge office. The project also includes partial re-cladding and the installation of new and replacement windows. Construction work commenced on site in August 2013, and is due to be completed ready for occupation in September 2014.
