Balfour Beatty<\/a> has been appointed as the preferred bidder for the development of a student village at Rusham Park in Egham, Surrey<\/h2>\n

As part of a 50-year concession contract, Balfour Beatty \u2013 in partnership with Royal Holloway<\/a> \u2013 will design, build, finance and operate, a new 1,400 room student village at Rusham Park alongside Student Living by Sodexo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Balfour will also operate the existing 621-bed George Eliot student accommodation complex in London.<\/p>\n

Balfour Beatty Investments will invest 85% of the equity to finance the project with Royal Holloway investing the remaining 15%.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s UK construction services business will be responsible for the construction of the new student village at Rusham Park.<\/p>\n

As part of the \u00a3130m design and build phase, Balfour Beatty will deploy modern construction methods such as the offsite manufacturing<\/a> of the external walls, floors and bathroom pods, to improve health and safety and reduce the overall project duration.<\/p>\n

To support Balfour Beatty and Royal Holloway in achieving their bold and ambitious net-zero carbon<\/a> targets, energy efficient systems, such as air source heat pump technology, will be deployed throughout the build.<\/p>\n

\u2018Enhancing the student experience\u2019<\/h3>\n

Ion Appuhamy, managing director of Balfour Beatty Investments, said: \u201cWe are delighted to be appointed as preferred bidder and to work in partnership with Royal Holloway.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur appointment to deliver the student village development at Rusham Park demonstrates our ongoing success in the student accommodation market.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are well-placed to support Royal Holloway with their ambitions, providing an integrated design, build, finance and operations offering which will ensure the seamless delivery of this essential and sustainable project<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Berry, director of estates for Royal Holloway, University of London, added: \u201cWe are very pleased to be able to announce Balfour Beatty as our preferred bidder for the development of the Rusham Park student village.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to continue to evolve our campus, developing the services and facilities we offer in order to enhance the student experience and create the optimum environment for student success.\u201d<\/p>\n

With financial close anticipated in early 2022, construction is due to commence shortly after with completion scheduled ahead of the 2024\/25 academic year.<\/p>\n
