Overview Details Related Madeira Road Student Accommodation Bournemouth, Dorset The Madeira Road car park site was released for re-development by Bournemouth Borough Council as part of its Town Centre Master Vision. The aim was to maximize the site potential by providing new halls of residence for the Arts University Bournemouth housing 378 students, together with a 400 space, public multi-storey car park.The site is located in the vibrant seaside town of Bournemouth in a prominent location that acts as a gateway site on the approach to Bournemouth and Poole.The site was a former underused public car park, and after a number of previous attempts to regenerate this difficult site, BrightSpace Architects were appointed to develop a solution for student accommodation. The design received unanimous planning approval in 2013 and was completed on site in September 2014. During the design phase, there was a range of challenges to consider including the protection of mature trees – these were retained and incorporated into the landscaping of the development in between the buildings to enhance the external communal areas.Since its completion, Madeira Road Student Accommodation has played an important role in the development of AUB and has helped attract prospective students. It was the first purpose-built student accommodation for the university and has acted as a catalyst for other higher education buildings on campus. The building offers superb facilities and an inspiring, safe environment to study and enjoy university life in Bournemouth.
