Offsite construction specialist Caledonian has been appointed to build new student accommodation for the University Campus of Football Business, First Way Campus in Wembley.

The company will work alongside Bowmer & Kirkland to complete a £25 million contract.

They will deliver 680 bedrooms, installed using Caledonian's leading modular building system.

Caledonian's system will also help complete handover of the project by July 2020 in time for Euro 2020.

This project forms part of a £54m development for the First Way Campus.

Damian Flood, CEO of Cole Waterhouse, said: "We liked the modular building solution proposed by Bowmer + Kirkland and its supply partner Caledonian for First Way Campus because it was a practical way of meeting the strict schedule. We are providing Wembley and the UCFB students with a fantastic campus that will include a number of facilities for students including purpose built accommodation (678 beds), seminar rooms and staff office spaces as well as amenities such as a café style restaurant, a gym and library/IT suite."

Paul Lang, CEO of Caledonian Modular, added: "Our ability to deliver to a strict schedule and have an existing fire compliant solution made a compelling proposition for First Way Campus. The development rises to 11 stories and that really shows what is possible with our modular building solution."
