Cost Model
Student accomodation and Passivhaus

Balancing the need for high-quality student accommodation with sustainability aspirations within time, cost, and labour constraints.

The student accommodation sector has evolved to meet changing preferences of students over the past decade, with high-quality accommodation and wellness amenities now the norm. Private investment is driving change, but university‑owned projects are also innovating.

Both private capital and universities are investing in and building student accommodation. 

In our latest report we provide an overview of the sector and a cost model based on a new purpose built managed student accommodation development scheme of 16,300m2 GIA and 485Nr beds in a regional UK location built to Passivhaus Classic standard.

Key topics covered in the article include:

  • Current situation in the sector
  • Design considerations
  • MEP
  • Passivhaus
  • Cost considerations
