Developer Cole Waterhouse has picked Bowmer & Kirkland to build their planned First Way Campus student development in Wembley.
Unite student rooms block will include seminar rooms, staff office space, a canteen, gym, and library/IT suite
Work on the 1.6-acre student accommodation project will now start on site under a £54m contract.
First Way Campus situated a few minutes' walk from Wembley Stadium, will include a mix of purpose-built student accommodation as well as academic, office and outdoor space.
Cole Waterhouse has struck a deal with student rooms specialist Unite Students to forward fund the project.
The project team also includes CZWG Architects, Yorkshire-based ESP as M&E consultant and Riley Consulting acting as cost consultant.
Damian Flood, CEO of Cole Waterhouse, said: "We have worked with Bowmer & Kirkland over a 15-year period and have great confidence in their ability to perform."
Matthew Cruttenden, Director at Bowmer & Kirkland said that the 680-bed First Way Campus was expected to complete in July 2020.
It is being built as a more cost-effective alternative for students than some central London accommodation options.
Volumetric modules for this project will be supplied by www.caledonianmodular.com
