The Oaks

Background

Providing over a thousand students with purpose-built accommodation

With phase one successfully completed, work is now underway on phases two and three of this exciting new purpose-built student accommodation scheme.

Phase one of the project delivered 378 units, comprising a five-floor development at the west side of the site, decreasing to four floors with reduced massing. The mix of studios and en-suite cluster rooms maximises the site’s potential and meet the needs of the local student population while retaining future flexibility.

Phases two & three will deliver a further 699 units due for completion in the spring/summer 2022.

The project involved the demolition of the existing commercial buildings on the site and construction of a new, purpose-built student accommodation building.

The Oaks is situated within the Westwood Business Park, Coventry and just 1.1 km from The University of Warwick. Immediately to the north of the site is a leisure centre, playing fields and open space. The area to the west is a mix of residential and business space.
