The £81 million project was managed by Graham Construction and has been referred to as one of Europe’s largest single phase student accommodation builds.</p><p>Designed by landscape architect, Gillespie’s, the grounds at Peel Park Quarter are complete with a permeable paving solution from Tobermore. A large expanse of Tobermore’s <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.tobermore.co.uk/professional/products/permeable-paving/hydropave-fusion-professional#.VqovTvmLSUk" target="_blank">Hydropave Fusion</a> was installed as a prevention method for flooding and pollution issues, ultimately creating a more sustainable landscape. As Hydropave Fusion is manufactured with all the aesthetic benefits of the standard Fusion paving range, Tobermore ensure that style is not compromised when utilising a permeable paving solution. A selection of Hydropave Fusion in the sparkling colours of Graphite and Silver has been intertwined in a stylish design to create a stunning, modern look.</p><p>The project comprises nine residential blocks on two separate sites to accommodate 1,367 students, as well as providing luxurious yet affordable accommodation, communal social spaces, two 30-seater cinemas, a gym, an energy centre, a laundrette and professional meeting areas, which look set to create a new era for the University.</p><p>The facility was opened by Professor Helen Marshall, Vice Chancellor at the University, at a plaque unveiling ceremony in October 2015. Robert Moyle, Director of Salford Student Village, commented, “Peel Park Quarter is the future of student accommodation in the UK – a home from home which combines luxury facilities with high-quality construction, innovative design solutions, the latest technology and first-rate customer service.”</p><p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.graham.co.uk/graham-construction-hands-over-81m-salford-university-campus" target="_blank">Click here to view an amazing video of this project from Graham Construction.</a></p></div>
