Parkside, Coventry

Miller Knight were appointed to carry out the Passive Fire Protection works at the Parkside scheme in Coventry for Winvic.

Winvic was awarded the contract to design and build the luxury student accommodation scheme located in Coventry’s city-centre. The complex includes 502 high quality cluster bedrooms within three towers that will reach 6, 13 and 19 storeys high.

There will be extensive green roof areas and an external podium. Level 19 will have a roof terrace that will accommodate a study area.

The ground floor contains 1,100 sq ft of retail space and the 5m deep 16,000 sq ft basement hosts a gym, laundry, cinema room, karaoke room, communal lounge for tenants and plant room/energy centre.

The project boasts high quality internal finishes, LED lighting, electric heating and a boosted water system heated by a centrally located gas boiler. A combination of brick slips and rainscreen cladding make up the external façade’s striking design, and the interior will take shape with high quality finishes throughout, meeting the demands of the luxury student living market.
