Moulsecoomb Campus – University of Brighton

Brighton

The Moulsecoomb Campus combines expertise from across the Bouygues Group. Financed, designed, developed and built by Bouygues UK, Equans now maintain and operate this facility and will do so for 50 years.

Bouygues UK undertook and managed the required development scope and responsibilities for the implementation of the project, developing further stages of the design including helping the University of Brighton to secure, at tender stage, planning consent for a whole masterplan transforming Moulsecoomb campus.

The five new towers at the Moulsecoomb Campus, ranging in height from eight to eighteen floors, provide over 800 affordable student bedrooms and space at ground level for a new Students’ Union and fitness facilities.

Project Profile

Delivered over two phase, Phase One saw the delivery of the first 400 rooms, and Phase Two delivered the remaining 400. The project also includes:

• A new academic building with modern and flexible teaching spaces
• A new Students’ Union
• New fitness facilities
• A new multi-storey car park and improved cycling facilities
• A new pedestrian bridge linking both sides of the campus
• Improved social spaces with extensive landscaping and planting

Designed by HASSELL architects, this high-quality student residence has been built on the eastern side of the Moulsecoomb campus and forms part of a vast transformation project, turning it into a sustainable and innovative campus.

The entire campus development has been built to the highest environmental standards with an emphasis on sustainability, incorporating over 300 native species trees across the campus.

We’re proud to be investing in the future of our university, making Brighton a great place to live, work and study. The transformation of our Moulsecoomb campus is a vital part of this and will provide our students with access to modern accommodation, new teaching and learning spaces as well as new social and fitness facilities. Uliving* has a track record of creating exceptional student accommodation schemes across the UK and we’re delighted to be partnering with them to maintain Brighton’s position as one of the best places to study in the UK.
