QUEEN'S HOSPITAL CLOSE

The former Queen’s Hospital on Bath Row is to be reimagined with a 31-storey student tower, two residential blocks, and the conversion of two heritage builds.

The outdated 1990s canal-side site will be replaced with contemporary new builds, creating 728 student beds & 189 Build-to-rent apartments.

The tallest building will rise to 31 storeys and will accommodate 707 student beds – 477 clusters & 230 studios – and a private courtyard.

To the site's rear will be two 10-storey residential builds, providing 189 rental homes – 87 one, 95 two & 7 three beds; 7.8% affordable – and a terraced woodland garden.

With an emphasis on movement, each build will be set around the site's two soon-to-be refurbished Grade II listed properties: East and West block.

The 1840s-built East block (first below) will be converted into 52 larger post-grad student studios; while the 1873-built West block (second below) will offer amenities for both the BTR and PBSA, along with a café and a commercial unit.

With spill-out space envisaged around these two assets, an enhanced public realm will be made to Bath Row, providing fluidity in and out of this vibrant central setting, further boosted by a woodland community garden and social space.
