University
of Warwick -Development of 400 Student Residence
The RIBA Competitions Office
is launching an Invited Design Competition on behalf of the University
of Warwick, to seek suitable and innovative solutions for the
design of new student residences to accommodate 1000 students
as part of a broader strategy to accommodate undergraduate and
graduates on the University campus.
The purpose of this project is
to prepare initial design proposals for the first phase of residences,
with a target of 400 study bedrooms, within a site close to Rootes
Residences. The University's main campus lies on the outskirts
of Coventry, right on the border with the county of Warwickshire,
linking the Westwood and Gibbet Hill parts of the city.
The site identified by the University
for the new residences is in the central part of that campus,
and is within a few minutes walk of the University's Library,
main social facilities and the Arts Centre.
This competition seeks expressions
of interest from architect-led design teams for the design and
construction of 400 residences. From the initial expressions
of interest, up to six teams will be invited to the design phase
of the competition and will be asked to produce concept design
proposals. Each of the short-listed teams will receive
an honorarium of £9,000 (inc.VAT).
A comprehensive preliminary briefing
paper is available from RIBA Competitions Office, Tel. +44(0)113-234-1335.
The Expression of Interest deadline is 14.00 hours on 19th May
2008.
