The University is working with Uliving in consortium with Equitix as preferred bidder on a student accommodation new build and refurbishment programme across its two campuses.

Work will deliver a total of 1,032 units across the two sites in Bognor Regis and Chichester. This will include extensive refurbishment to the existing 507 beds across the two campuses, a 176-bed new build scheme at Bognor Regis and 349 new beds at the Bishop Otter campus in Chichester.

The consortium propose to refurbish, develop and enhance the twin sites to be delivered in stages with practical completion by September 2027.

Oliver Campbell, CEO of Uliving said, “We are thrilled to have reached this stage and are looking forward to progressing our plans with Equitix to deliver high quality, affordable living spaces which meets the needs of the University of Chichester and its students.

“We will work collaboratively with our sister companies Bouygues UK and Bouygues Energies & Services to deliver sustainable buildings that provide the highest level of facilities management services.”
