The site consisted formerly of nine disuse mews houses and one detached property on land near University of Leicester. HSP Consulting were commissioned by Stepnell to undertake the civil and structural design works for the proposed 91 room student accommodation building to house students attending University of Leicester.

HSP’s Civils team were commissioned to design the proposed levels, surface and foul drainage, basement cavity drainage and external paved areas. The structural team at HSP designed the foundations, basement floor slab, retaining structures, lift pit details, and the perimeter retaining wall.
