Milestone Achieved at The University of Manchester's Fallowfield Campus
A significant milestone has been reached in the redevelopment of the University of Manchester’s Fallowfield Campus - the submission of a Reserved Matters Planning Application - detailing the appearance, landscaping, layout and scale of the project, which includes Owens Park, Oak House, and Woolton Hall.
The ambitious plans feature 3,300 modern student bedspaces, amenity spaces, ancillary residential dwellings and green spaces, creating five distinct neighbourhoods and a central hub, celebrating the local history and character.
Dr Simon Merrywest, Director for the Student Experience at University of Manchester, said, “This milestone reinforces our commitment to providing high-quality accommodation for our students.”
The project, led by the Viridis Consortium (GRAHAM Group , Equitix and Derwent fm), is progressing with demolition and enabling works, with the phased handover allowing students to move into their new homes at different points from 2027 through to 2030.
GRAHAM has led the planning process in collaboration with the University of Manchester, architects Sheppard Robson and planning consultants Deloitte.
The development will be one of the largest Passivhaus developments in the UK and is targeting BREEAM Excellent certification.
