Student Village

Get ready to enjoy the perfect blend of nature and modern campus life, right on your doorstep.

Our University accommodation has always been an exciting home away from home – a place where countless memories are made and friendships are formed. The new Student Village will build on these qualities bringing brand new accommodation onto campus. It’s a place where you’ll live, learn and thrive.

It gets better too.

If that wasn’t exciting enough, we’re also bringing you a Village Hub as part of this development.

As a student, you’ll be connected to a range of amenities ranging from social spaces to study spaces all connected to our main campus via a new boardwalk. And, on your daily walk to campus from the new village, you’ll immerse yourself in nature in the new parkland we’re creating on campus.

Follow our journey.

Here you’ll find the latest project updates so you can follow us on the journey from construction to completion.

And who knows, maybe in 2026, you’ll be among the first residents in our new Student Village...

Project partners

The multi-million pound scheme will be delivered in partnership with Staffordshire Campus Living, a consortium formed by Hochtief PPP Solutions UK and Ireland, Plenary and Staffordshire University.

The consortium has appointed Wilmott Dixon to construct the new Student Village. The Hertfordshire headquartered construction firm has previously worked on other high-profile schemes in the higher education sector such as Kingston University Town House, University of Warwick Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Building and the University of Birmingham School of Engineering.

The Student Village has been designed by architects Corstorphine and Wright, who have a track record in student residential projects across the country including The Store House in Leeds, The Oaks in Coventry and Pavilion Point in Brighton.

Pinnacle Group will support the operation of the new accommodation, working with the University.
