Student Development The development is set to create the highest specification student accommodation in the town. Collegiate Accommodation Consulting has been appointed to advise on the most profitable and effective scheme appropriate for the market. As such, the accommodation will be of a high standard, similar to Water Lane Apartments in Bristol (www.collegiate-ac.com/ukstudent-accommodation/bristol/water-lane-apartments) which was also built by the Vendor in affiliation with Collegiate. 10 Example spec from Water Lane Apartments Bristol - see Collegiate website.
Bournemouth Student Accommodation Market Bournemouth is a large university town, home to Bournemouth University (82nd in the Times Good University Guide rankings) and the Arts University Bournemouth (81st in the Times Good University Guide rankings). Bournemouth University has 18,225 students, 13,765 of which are full time. The Arts University Bournemouth has 2,955 students, 2,905 of which are full time (Source: HESA 2014/15). The town therefore has around 16,670 full time students in higher education of the full time students 1,110 are from the EU and 1,890 are non-eu. The Lansdowne Campus is home to the Faculty of Health & Social Sciences and the Executive Business Centre, where postgraduate education for the Faculty of Management is delivered. It is also where the majority of the University accommodation is based as well as being located close to the main train and bus station. Support services such as marketing, HR, finance, international admissions and ASKBUT drop-in service are also based here. The Talbot Campus s facilities include the Faculty of Management, the Faculty of Media & Communication, the Faculty of Science & Technology, The Graduate School, Sport BU and The Sir Michael Cobham Library. The Student Centre was opened on the Talbot Campus in 2015 and is a six storey, environmentally friendly building to enhance the presence of the Students Union at BU. Photovoltaic panels and ground source heat pumps reduce carbon emissions while a green roof provides insulation and increases the ecological value of the campus as a whole. A new academic building called The Fusion Building, located at the heart of the Talbot Campus, is due to open in September 2016. It is five storeys high and will provide almost 6,000 sq m of academic space, including 28 seminar rooms, three lecture theatres, research space, collaborative learning areas and a roof top terrace café. Proposals have been submitted for 100 million worth of landmark developments for striking gateway buildings at BU s Lansdowne and Talbot sites. The schemes will include state-of-the-art facilities for BU s highly regarded faculties of Media and Communication, Management, Science and Technology and Health and Social Sciences (HSS). A hybrid planning application to develop a landmark Poole Gateway Building and new transport infrastructure at Talbot has been submitted to the Borough of Poole. If approved the building would provide new specialist facilities including TV studios, editing suites and PC laboratories. The proposed transport infrastructure includes a new link road off the Boundary roundabout, a bus hub on campus and a car park extension. Lansdowne s scheme aims to bring HSS under one roof with modern facilities in a new Bournemouth Gateway Building, situated off the St Paul s roundabout. There are approximately 4,158 PBSA beds in Bournemouth (excluding the HMOS managed by Bournemouth University Student Village and Unilet). On this basis, approximately 12,500 students are unable to access PBSA, reflecting 75% of full time students. This demonstrates strong demand for further PBSA provision in the town. We are aware of two pipeline schemes. The first is due to PC in August 2017 and is being built by Watkin Jones. It will provide 454 student rooms, a 128 bed hotel (Premier Inn) and 70,000 sq ft of offices. The second scheme is a joint venture between Bournemouth University and Threesixty Developments. Planning was submitted for a 550 bed scheme of 4 to 8 bed cluster flats on 16 May 2016 with a target PC of 2019 if approved. Even if all 1,004 beds are built only c. 31% of students will be able to access PBSA (a shortfall of 11,508 beds).
