Project Overview
Lindum refurbished the University of York Grade II listed CLASP DerwentP-Block student accommodation block.
The work involved internal and external alterations, including creating 57 fully furnished en-suite bedrooms, six shared-use kitchens, and a new plant room. Externally, the roof and windows were replaced, and concrete panels were repaired and cleaned.
The newly refurbished student accommodation building is designed to provide a modern and contemporary interior that blends well with the listed heritage features throughout the building.
The Derwent P-Block is Grade II listed, despite being less than 60 years old. The Derwent college was one of the first universities built using the CLASP (Consortium of Local Authorities Special Programme) prefabricated system, a light-gauge steel building system that was introduced after the Second World War that resulted in significant cost savings.
