The Courtyards, University of Hull

The £1.5m commercial glazing package for the new student residences was successfully awarded to GFS, our aim was to help the university create a vibrant living, learning and social environment for the students.

​

The development consists of 562 apartments which all have modern, bright interiors. The standard and deluxe rooms feature en-suites, shared kitchen/dining areas and laundry facilities. Whilst the rooftop apartments include living/dinning and kitchens areas and feature an outdoor living with area with views of the city.

​

All students have access to the communal spaces which include student lounges, games & cinema rooms and outdoor sheltered courtyards.

​

Comprising six separate blocks based around two central courtyards, GFS was appointed to design, manufacture and install windows, curtain walling, external doors and external screens.

​

Using Senior Architectural’s PURe aluminium windows which boasts exceptional thermal efficiency that can help reduce the overall environmental impact of the build and contribute to a significant reduction in heating costs. Senior Architectural’s thermally efficient SF52 aluminium curtain walling was also used on this project.
