University of St Andrews Student Halls of Residence

with Gauldie Wright & Partners and Oliver Robb Architects

Atelier Ten continued their relationship with the University in their work to improve the University’s existing student accommodation stock.

Our work involved refurbishment and extension of a variety of properties – some relatively new whilst many were listed properties in St Andrew’s historic town centre.

The building services were upgraded to take cognisance of new House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO) Standards and current amenity expected of modern students. The works also included the provision of a new catering kitchen to John Burnet Hall.

As part of our work, a number of stakeholder meetings assisted in determining the brief. This included meeting representatives from the Student Council and the University’s Energy Officer, who assisted in determining the brief to assist in delivering the Estate’s Carbon Neutrality aspirations by 2016.
