Staffordshire University Student Village (SUSV) presents an exciting opportunity to blend student living with nature though the creation of a student village in a woodland.
Recognising the value of the neighbouring Trentside Local Wildlife Site, River Trent corridor and woodland setting, the project team has put nature first in the formation of the proposed masterplan. In collaboration with the University, three landscape design themes were identified so that the diverse needs of the future student community will be met.
A place to live and thrive
Safe, friendly, equitable and inclusive environments. Active and vibrant spaces supporting outdoor study, dining, and relaxation.
A place to call home
A landscape to take ownership of and pride in. High quality external spaces that encourage students to become part of a Village community.
A place to recharge
Incorporate biophilic design principles to provide spaces that connect the students with nature. Provide both active and passive recreational opportunities.
