Richard Fielding, area director at Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure in the Midlands, said: "We're incredibly pleased to be delivering Select's first scheme in Nottingham. They're a great customer and we've built a strong and collaborative relationship through our work on the framework, and our ongoing construction of Vita Birmingham.

"The student accommodation market in Nottingham is buoyant, driven by the continued growth of the two first-class universities the city boasts. Select has secured an excellent site next to the station and the apartments will undoubtedly prove a popular choice for bright and discerning academic minds."

Other consultants involved in the scheme include engineering and environmental firm, BWB Consulting and mechanical and engineering company, Drayton Beaumont Services.

The project is scheduled for completion in time for the 2020 academic year.
