30 CASE STUDY
THE TOTAL BUILD TIME WAS 12 MONTHS, WITH THE MODULES STACKED TOP THE HEIGHT OF 90 METRES IN JUST 13 WEEKS
LLP, said that modular volumetric construction “presented a new design challenge for architects.” He said that architects “need to be
involved from the very beginning of a modular project to get the best results, working closely with all parties to get the design finalised early, and understand the manufacturing and delivery process.” Tom Devaney, managing director of
Scape Student Living, also commented: “Starting work offsite, before the founda- tions were in, meant our interior architects Ab Rogers Design could make sure every single studio is designed to give students exactly what they need.” “The time saved on the build process
also let us focus on creating a ‘vertical campus,’” continued Devaney, “with cinemas, gardens and study spaces that bring students together.” The development is being funded by
GCP Student Living, a closed ended fund, which is listed in the London Stock Exchange and already owns a number of other completed developments. Prior to this project, Tide Construction
and Vision Modular Systems also held the title for the tallest modular tower in Europe, with a 25-storey student accommo- dation building in Wolverhampton that was completed in 2009.
