The Student Hotel, Glasgow
This proposed landmark project for ‘The Student Hotel’ is located in Trongate, within the conservation area of Glasgow. It will provide eight storeys of accommodation for a combination of users, such as students, mobile professionals, and the like in either short or long stays.
Historically, the site was occupied by a variety of commercial and residential Victorian properties, most of which have since been demolished. This has allowed the new unique and vibrant building to be configured around the last remaining 'listed' building on the site, at the corner of Hutcheson Street. The new building will have 2 lower levels of attractive common ancillary spaces, with accessible courtyards, and will provide 500 en-suite bedrooms with communal kitchens on the upper levels.
Various structural options have ben developed for the client, including concrete frame, lightweight metal frame, and hybrid combinations of both, in order to ensure the most cost-effective construction. The building will be piled, and extensive dialogue with Network Rail has been required to achieve agreement to the works, given the adjacency of the Argyle Street Rail tunnel.
Site enabling works are complete with main construction programmed for summer 2021.
