Univ North is a new development for University College, Oxford, which has been a second home for students for over 50 years.
B&K Hybrid Solutions delivered the cross laminated timber, glulam and supporting steelwork for the Water Court West (WCW) and Water Court East (WCE) buildings.
The superstructure of the WCW and WCE blocks - which consist of a combination of CLT panels, glulam beams, steel beams and columns - have been designed by Engenuiti and our in-house expert design team of structural engineers.
BKHS, on behalf of the College’s construction contractor, SDC Builders Ltd, completed the erection of the CLT floor and wall panels, CLT internal staircases and roof areas
Our design team were responsible for the management of the steel connection and the temporary stability design during the installation phases, which involved strong collaboration between all project partners to ensure a flawless onsite phase.
When completed, the North Oxford development will provide University College, Oxford’s (Univ) students, academics and staff with the very best facilities and enhance the Univ community, which has had a home at the site on Staverton Road for 50 years.
