Glasgow Council Approves Major Student Housing Developments

News summary

Several universities and cities are advancing significant student housing projects to address growing demand and aging accommodations. Glasgow City Council approved plans for a nine-storey student accommodation building with amenities including a food hall and gym, despite concerns about its impact on heritage sites, notably the Mackintosh building. Another student housing development in Glasgow, featuring 410 beds across 25 floors with extensive facilities, was also approved amid local residents' worries about noise, privacy, and building height. At the University of North Carolina, a decade-long Housing Master Plan aims to add 3,450 new beds both on and off-campus while renovating existing halls, addressing current deficiencies and future enrollment. The University of Newcastle in Australia received approval for an $87 million city campus student accommodation project offering 445 beds with various room types, emphasizing active transport and community integration despite some objections over building height and visual impact. These developments reflect a broader trend of expanding and modernizing student housing to improve living conditions and support student populations.
