Ravensbourne Student Accommodation

Ravensbourne (Scape) Greenwich is a Student Accommodation Block which opened in September 2013 on the Greenwich Peninsula, a short walk from the O2 arena and Ravensbourne.

MLM completed the fully detailed design of the mechanical and electrical services, and sustainability services which included a comprehensive energy strategy and BREEAM assessment. An Excellent rating was targeted and achieved.

The Residence building has a multi-functional communal space and laundry room over 10 storeys. All 280 student rooms come with a fully equipped kitchenette, double bed with built-in storage, en suite shower room and large windows that allow plenty of natural light. Communal balconies alternate floors and afford stunning views of Canary Wharf, the City and local parkland.

The building was connected to the site wide district heating network to achieve compliance with local planning policy and strategic energy supply requirements for the Greenwich Peninsual region. We worked closely with the energy provider to ensure that the completed building could be connected into a temporary energy infrastructure since this development was completed in advance of the permanent site wide infrastructure.

The student rooms were provided with off site manufactured pod type ensuite shower/toilet facilities requiring careful detailing and coordination by the design team.
