Student accommodation close to University of Leeds
St Albans Place offers specialist student accommodation in Leeds city centre, with 376 bedrooms within 18 storeys. Developed by Vita, the construction’s exterior is clad with a woven pattern of glazed ceramic tiles, forming a striking façade, which stands out across the city’s skyline.
We were approached during the initial stages of the project to help develop a fire strategy in order to demonstrate compliance. This involved various consultations at design stage with Design Fire Consultants and West Yorkshire Fire Service to ensure a viable fire-engineered solution was provided. Following our input, the proposed scheme received approval from the Fire Authority.
