Site Visit - Castle Leazes

Summary

Constructing the North East

Join CIOB North East Tomorrow's Leaders in collaboration with Northumbria University for a site visit to Bowmer & Kirkland's Castle Leazes site.

The project consists of two student accommodation blocks which will ultimately house 2011 students. Also within the building will be amenity areas on the ground floor which will include gym, laundry, cinema areas as well as break out areas.

Construction of the build is a steel frame with metal decking complete with concrete floors and 25 no. stair and lift cores. Pre-made bathroom pods will be used in the student bedrooms.

External fabric will be from the outset, structural steel frame complete with cementitious board, insulation then a mixture of render, brick slips and traditional brickwork -predominantly to the low level areas

Landscape areas will be formed with seating areas, minimal parking and a small number of electric charging points

The building completions are split into two with the smaller 800 bedroom block due for completion by the end of December 2027 and the larger 1200 block due to complete a year later. The project clients are Newcastle University & Unite Students in partnership.

FULL PPE MUST BE WORN - Hi-viz jacket, hard hat (preferably with chin strap), safety boots, gloves and glasses. Site can provide some, so please let me know if you require anything.

This learning activity can contribute to your annual CPD return and should be logged accordingly.
