Demolition of an existing two-storey commercial building and construction of new, purpose-built student accommodation.

The project delivered 378 units, with an optimum ratio of studios and en-suite cluster rooms to maximise the site’s potential and meet the needs of the local student population whilst retaining future flexibility.

The Oaks is situated within the Westwood Business Park, Coventry. The University of Warwick is located approximately 1.1 km (0.7 miles) to the south-east of the site. Immediately to the north of the site is a leisure centre and associated playing fields, and open space. To the west of the site are further employment and business uses with an area of residential to the south.

The project involved the demolition of the existing commercial building on the site and construction of a new, purpose-built student accommodation building comprising a five-floor development at the west side of the site, decreasing to four floors with reduced massing.
