Description
Glyndwr University has identified the need for new student residences to accommodate 500 students as part of a broader strategy to accommodate undergraduates and graduates on campus and increase the provision for student services including catering. The purpose of this project is to prepare initial design proposals for the first phase of development being 500 study bedrooms and a subsequent phase of student facilities within the Plas Coch Campus.
The University’s campus lies on the outskirts of Wrexham and consists of a main campus at Plas Coch and Regent Street and other smaller sites at Yale Business Village, Rhosnesni and Gatewen. The site identified by the University for the new residences is on the northern edge of the central campus, adjacent to the existing Student Village. The new accommodation will be designed for undergraduate use, with conference use out of term time.
