Project

With 415 en-suite rooms and 47 studios, The Tannery is a student accommodation scheme located just a short walk from De Montfort University and Leicester city centre.

With 415 en-suite rooms and 47 studios, The Tannery is a student accommodation scheme located just a short walk from De Montfort University and Leicester city centre. The latest addition to the £250 million-plus Waterside Regeneration programme, The Tannery has many communal facilities and amenities including a cinema, games room, fitness studio, lounges and study areas.

Logistics were particularly challenging for this vast project as only selected timed delivery slots were available. Careful consideration and robust coordination between the main contractor, the specialist installer and Frameclad’s operations team ensured smooth and unhindered progress to keep the development to time and on programme.
