The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) today revealed the winning designs for the new Bankside student accommodation; a joint submission by architects Carmody Groarke and Sheppard Robson delivering affordable student accommodation with Equitix and our development partners, BOUYGUES UK. The architectural partnership was amongst a shortlist of six competition teams and has been chosen to take their designs forward to deliver what aspires to be the ‘best university halls of residence in London’. There will be a particular design emphasis on sustainability, health, student wellbeing and affordability.   The accommodation will target a provision of up to 2,000-beds, grouped into three communities of around 650 students, housed in individual buildings. The three ‘houses’ are connected at the lower floors and via garden terraces. Ian Spencer, Director of Residential and Catering Services for LSE, said: “I am excited about the enormous potential of the redevelopment of Bankside House and pleased to be a part of it. The approach to providing affordable accommodation across three houses will allow our Residential Life programme to create lasting communities amongst LSE students ...."   Equitix Managing Director, Investments, Ben Leech added: “We are delighted to confirm Carmody Groarke and Sheppard Robson as the preferred design team for the LSE Bankside Residences Project, which will be delivered in partnership with Equitix and Bouygues UK. We have been impressed with the quality of submissions received with outstanding contributions on student experience, sustainability and design across the board. We are grateful for the time, effort and innovation demonstrated by all the teams and we look forward to working closely with the winning designers over the coming years to deliver this exciting flagship scheme.” Read more here: Image: View from street level of proposed Carmody Groarke and Sheppard Robson design//Credit: Filippo Bolognese Images #studentaccommodation #studentliving #architecturaldesign #partnership #infrastructureinvestment #lastinglegacy #infrastructuretolife

We're excited to share that the Bouygues UK-Equitix consortium and leading university, The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) have announced the shortlist for an architectural competition for the redevelopment of Bankside House in Southwark, London. Plans for the new Bankside House include a significant increase in accommodation of upto 2,000 beds, making the site LSE’s largest student residence. The redevelopment will support the institution in its aim to offer bed space to every first year student from 2030. Bouygues UK and Equitix undertook a prequalifying exercise with a mutually agreed longlist of architects in late 2023 during our successful tender and will work with LSE to maximise the potential of the site and prepare a planning application for submission to London Borough of Southwark in 2025.

The World-leading university, The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) ), dedicated to social sciences, has confirmed the BOUYGUES UK-Equitix consortium as preferred student accommodation partner for 2,000 new student homes in premium Bankside location. We will work in consortium with the development arm of Bouygues UK, to provide investment and develop plans for the build. The new accommodation will be positioned in London’s Bankside, behind the Tate Modern. Equitix CEO Hugh Crossley said: "Working in partnership with Bouygues UK, we are supporting foreign direct investment into the UK. We look forward to coming together again to create what we believe will be a landmark campus for this world-renowned institution. We will aim to achieve multiple objectives with sustainability at its core, a focus on student wellbeing, an appreciation of the institution’s history and its location at the very heart of London and developing what will become a lasting legacy for generations." LSE is the first verified carbon-neutral university in the UK and, as such, sustainability will be a key consideration of the development.  Julian Robinson, LSE's Director of Estates said: "We are excited to be working with Bouygues UK and Equitix on this project. This new building will form a key part of the LSE brand and identity. We will be looking for an exemplary piece of civic architecture which is affordable for all LSE students, focuses on environmental sustainability, health and wellbeing and offers an outstanding student experience." #partnership #announcenment #studentaccommodation #infrastructuretolife
