SPACE student accommodation in St Andrews is due to open in September 2024 comprising of both Studios and shared apartments exclusively designed with students in mind.



The concept behind SPACE is to develop student accommodation that does not only provide a contemporary and design-led home for students who attend the University of St Andrews but also provides an inclusive environment where every aspect of student life is catered for.



We believe that students need more than a room to call home and therefore we are developing a property that has shared communal spaces that will offer all students a place to go to socialise in the communal social hub, study within the library, and study pod, entertain friends within a private kitchen dining room or and keep fit and active in the gym or recreational hall.



The guiding principles of SPACE are to put our students front and centre of all decisions at every stage of the development from creating contemporary, sustainable apartments and studios to delivering vast social spaces that add value to the students who stay in SPACE. We also believe that by focusing on the provision of an inclusive events program which will include activities linked to Health, wellbeing, and social interaction both within the student community and the wider residential community we will provide a home that will offer far more than just a place to rest.
