Student accommodation opts for Metframe

摘要

Student accommodation provider Unite's latest development in Coventry has made use of voestalpine Metsec's light gauge steel Metframe system to meet the project's specific design and performance requirements. Unite operates over 125 sites across 25 key university cities and towns in the UK. The latest development on Far Gosford Street, known as Gosford Gate, will be home to 286 students and is a key part of a long-term regeneration programme in the Coventry area. Led by main contractor Bowmer & Kirkland, the process of constructing a facility to host a large number of students within a restricted urban area was said to require the full design and engineering capabilities of Metsec.
