NORHAM ST EDMUND
The Need
Norham Gardens embodies care for two precious things – our students and our planet. The creation of 80 new bedrooms and the upgrade of 57 more will deliver greater equality by removing the more expensive need for students to rent. We are one of only a few colleges who cannot currently house all of their undergraduates.
The Vision
This innovative campus will provide a sense of community, connection and camaraderie for all. Our commitment to conservation and an environmentally sustainable design is central to this project.
The Design Brief
Our new buidings will have Passivhaus status, whilst EnerPHit guidelines will govern a low energy renovation of our existing Victorian Villa. Brilliantly designed spaces – with en-suite bedrooms, kitchens, communal areas, gym and gardens – will deliver significant income in term-time rentals but are also highly valued for conference clients in the vacation periods.
The £20m ($27m) investment will generate £500k ($675k) per annum uplift in income, providing a new level of commercial sustainability. Two sites – one community!
