Wolverhampton Student Accommodation, the UK:Wolverhampton Student Accommodation, Wolverhampton,the UK-the tallest modular building in the world(25stories and partly 26 stories)
A review from American architect James B.Guthrie:Architect Gary East and his team estimated the project would have taken at least 24 months using traditional site-built methods, but modular construction enabled them to top out all three buildings in nine months—well ahead of schedule, Total project completion is set before students arrive for their fall classes this year,fully 10 months ahead of site-built alternatives.
“In spite of this being a new method for most team members ,the project went smoothly, quickly, stayed on budget, maintained our quality objectives and architectural integrity, and will actually be done ahead of our originally aggressive schedule ”says Jenny Hayes, RIBA, O’Connell East’s project architect on Victoria Hall.
