ISG Jackson-Graduates with £3.2 million University of Cambridge
scheme
ISG Jackson has secured a £3.2 million project with
Robinson College, one of the 31 Colleges of the
University of Cambridge, to build new graduate student
accommodation on the outskirts of the city. The two,
three-storey buildings have been carefully designed to
sit sympathetically within their surroundings, occupying
a site adjacent to existing Robinson College facilities
off Sylvester Road.
Providing purpose-built, modern accommodation for
University graduates, the two new structures will house
48 individual study bedrooms, with en-suite facilities
and communal kitchen and dining accommodation across
each of the floors. A number of rooms have special
adaptations to make them suitable for disabled
graduates, with ISG Jackson also installing a lift
within each building.
Externally, both buildings feature brick and render
finishes to their façades, with timber frame windows and
majority tiled roofs. An environmentally friendly bike
shed, with a green sedum roof, provides secure parking
and a rainwater storage tank will provide irrigation for
a new garden area. ISG Jackson will also carry out a
range of hard and soft landscaping finishes on site,
with the project scheduled for completion by July 2008.
Phillip Allerton, director of ISG Jackson's Living
division, commented: "Working with key regional
educational institutions, ISG Jackson has secured high
profile student and graduate residential schemes valued
at over £9 million within the past two months alone. The
education sector continues to invest in improving and
upgrading facilities across its property portfolios and
ISG Jackson continues to be well placed to secure an
increasing share of this burgeoning market.”
