Plans were approved late last week for the transformation of the former Queens Hospital on Bath Row.

The McLaren Property and Aventicum partnership will demolish the outdated 1990s canal-side site and replace it with contemporary new builds, creating 728 student beds & 189 Build to Rent apartments.

The tallest building on site will rise to 31 storeys and will accommodate 707 student beds – 477 clusters & 230 studios – and a private courtyard.

To the rear will be two 10-storey residential builds, introducing 189 new rental homes – 87 one, 95 two & 7 three beds; 7.8% affordable – along with a terraced woodland garden.

With an emphasis on well-being and movement, each build will be set around the site’s two soon-to-be refurbished Grade II listed properties: East and West block – as seen below.

The 1840s-built East block (first & second below) will be converted into 52 larger post-grad student studios; while the 1873-built West block (third below) will offer amenities for both the BTR and PBSA, along with a café and a commercial unit.

With spill-out space envisaged around these two assets, an enhanced public realm will be made to Bath Row, providing fluidity in and out of this vibrant central setting, further boosted by a woodland community garden and social space.
