Claycroft is one of the largest banks of accommodation on the University of Warwick’s main campus in Coventry, which comprises three individual accommodation blocks providing 679 bedrooms arranged into eight-person flats.
As part of the University’s ongoing investment, and in its 60th anniversary year, the Claycroft development has introduced modern, high-quality living facilities within the existing halls.
The comprehensive refurbishment includes extensive upgrades to all bathrooms, with complete replacement flooring, new sanitaryware and full redecoration throughout.
Bedrooms have been modernised with refreshed finishes, including painted feature walls, while communal areas benefit from new vinyl tile flooring and metal suspended ceilings to enhance both aesthetics and long-term durability.
The project was procured via SCAPE Venture – a framework specifically designed for privately funded projects across consultancy, civil engineering and construction. A key benefit of this procurement route was the ability to provide early, invaluable input on buildability, cost planning, programme alignment, and logistics during the preconstruction phase.
