Green Bank

The 490,000 sq ft redevelopment includes the construction of two new four storey blocks alongside the refurbishment of Derby House.  A 15,000 sq ft sports facility and sports pitches will also be available on the site.

The redevelopment of Greenbank campus forms part of an overall £250 million investment in student accommodation that included the construction of Vine Court and Crown Place residences at the University’s city campus.

In total, Greenbank village will create over 1,300 bedrooms, with self –catering and ensuite facilities, which is an increase in the number of rooms available at this site of 40% .

Derby Hall itself will serve as the focal block on site housing the main reception area and containing over 300 bedrooms.

The next phase of Greenbank’s redevelopment will see the refurbishment of Derby Old Court which when it’s completed in 2018, will consist of student accommodation along with breakout areas and new spaces especially for student societies and clubs to use whilst living in Halls.

The final phase of the Greenbank redevelopment will see the construction of the new Roscoe & Gladstone Halls and the refurbishment of Greenbank House.  Work on this phase will be completed in time for the 2019 intake of students .

New teaching and support facilities on campus are also in progress with a £16 million investment to support a new lecture theatre hub in the central area of campus alongside accompanying innovative learning spaces.  This will provide a new environment for staff and students to use for teaching and break out activities.
