Student Apartments at Shore Court, Sheffield

University of Sheffield

University of Sheffield Estates Department

August 2012

£540,000

The project consisted of the

complete refurbishment of

42 student apartments to

provide contemporary

living. The work included

new boilers, electrical

rewiring, new kitchens &

bathrooms, decoration &

floor coverings.

The two blocks had been left empty for two years and had suffered

vandalism including gas pipes and radiators stolen.

Also the asbestos removal specialist had removed the lighting, leaving

insufficient cable to reconnect.

The building was extremely damp and suffering from excessive mould

growth.

All these issues had to be addressed within a very tight contract period in

order to ensure handover was achieved by the end of August.
