gcp has just completed a much-needed facelift to the Bristol International Student Centre, a charity that offers accommodation for international students neighbouring Bristol University.
Improvements were needed to maintain the Centre’s HMO licence. gcp reconfigured internal spaces to meet current standards and specified upgrades to ensure safe escape routes from the first floor bedrooms, including lining the existing ceiling to provide better acoustics and fire protection. The work has resulted in increased flexibility for BISC and privacy for the residents.
We are incredibly proud of the outcome, having given the building a new lease of life and assisted a fantastic charity in offering the best possible accommodation to provide a home away from home for international students.
We worked closely with contractor Creative Construction and were incredibly impressed by their attention to detail and ability to tackle unexpected issues arising on site.
