BREEAM
Loughborough University is continually investing in new buildings. Currently the university has two major new builds in development. Both of these projects are undergoing a BREEAM assessment.
The BREEAM family of assessment methods and tools are all designed to help construction professionals understand and mitigate the environmental impacts of the developments they design and build.
Car park 7 development
The new accommodation has been built on the site of an existing car park on the north side of campus. Three new halls for undergraduates and one new hall for postgraduates has been built.
The overall development will be a mix of four and five storey buildings, arranged around a courtyard to identify the individual halls. The halls will be provided with self catering facilities but two of the halls include flexible packages for the nearby restaurant and social centre.
Health, Exercise and Biosciences Building
The University further developed the East Park with this redevelopment of the site of the old swimming pool. The Health, Exercise & Biosciences Building completed construction in 2008 and it marks the first step in the exciting East Park development project.
This development will transform the East Park part of campus over the next ten to twenty years creating four new 'zones' - residential, academic, cultural and leisure, with new academic space and student accommodation provided.
