Byron House

Another exciting regeneration project is underway: Byron House is getting more than just a face-lift!

Work is underway for the development previously known as Byron House. The scheme, which is part of the University's ambitious estate regeneration programme, aims to create a landmark building in Shakespeare street near its junction with Goldsmith street.

The joint venture with UPP (Universities Partnerships Programme) is based on our students' vision for a new Byron House. It will provide facilities that will deliver a first-class student experience and will also stand as an iconic landmark at the northern gateway of the University's City site.

The proposed scheme provides 5,500 square metres of social, leisure and wellbeing facilities, plus living accommodation. Facilities will include a sports hall, entertainment area, fitness studio, shop, bars, social space - with a feature 20 ft climbing wall - and health centre. The sports hall will meet Sport England standards and the fitness studio will have approximately 100 stations.

The facility will also provide bespoke accommodation for the University's Students Union, making its facilities among the best equipped in the country, in addition to around 900 new student bedrooms.

Andrew Schulten, president of NTSU, said the proposals had been well received by students:

"The Students' Union has carried out a lot of research with its membership to help us build a better understanding of what students expect, and want from their facilities. We were then given the opportunity to share our findings with the University, allowing us to have a direct influence over the design and purpose of the building.
