Fantastic to have our creatives at the opening of the Terry Frost House in #Leeds during #leeds2023yearofculture @ameliafranceswood told us about the history and ideas behind her clay sculptural works whilst @denchphoto of @photonorthfest thanked Alumno for the photo journalistic commission he carried out in Leeds. Guests were treated to @zaffarkunial reciting his wonderful poems on the site that inspired him. Hopefully the works will encourage the #student residents to understand a little more about their home for the year #placemaking #publicart #studenthousing @placesforpeopleofficial

Alumno has officially opened a striking mixed-use

Alumno has officially opened a striking mixed-use six and seven-storey building in Leeds that will provide accommodation for the city’s growing student population and features an onsite Asian street food restaurant.

The Terry Frost Building, a new 11,955 square metre project on Whitelock Street, has regenerated a run-down, disused site and comprises 105 units that will house 411 students.

Facilities include a range of communal areas, including a central hub, gym, cinema, laundry room, roof terrace with a garden and extensive secure bicycle storage.

As part of its ongoing commitment to the communities living adjacent to its projects, Alumno has commissioned artworks that have been integrated into the public areas surrounding the development. The atrium features a large frieze based on an abstract painting by celebrated artist Terry Frost, after which the building is named, who taught at Leeds College of Art.

Inspired by Frost’s work, Yorkshire-based poet Zaffar Kunial has written a poem cast into glass at the building’s entrance. Meanwhile, Kunial’s work based on the ‘hidden river’ Sheepscar Beck, which runs to the rear of the site before disappearing under Leeds city centre, is visible on the glass walls overlooking the development’s ‘eternal rain garden’ where ceramics by local artist Ameila Wood will also be permanently displayed.

At the opening event, Frost’s sons Anthony and Stephen unveiled a plaque in honour of their late father. Specially commissioned photography on Leeds by Peter Dench is also on display, along with work from finalists of Photo North, an annual photography exhibition and student competition sponsored by Alumno. Cocktails and refreshments were provided by a local distillery and brewery.

Construction and development company @realplaceslt

Construction and development company @realplacesltd has started work on the Hollis Building in Bath for Alumno. The £12.6 million project will comprise 120 rooms of Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) across four storeys, together bespoke commercial space on the ground floor.

The site on Lower Bristol Road is in the suburb of Twerton, situated to the west of Bath city centre. Adjacent to the River Avon, this location lies within Bath Conservation Area, a World Heritage site, a Housing Development Boundary, and an Enterprise Area. Rackfield Place to the east of the site is a Grade II Listed Terrace of rubble Bath stone construction and opposite the Hollis Building to the south is Twerton Viaduct, also Grade II Listed. As the project is situated on the river and the railway line, Real will be working within an Environmental Permit and a Network Rail Basic Asset Protection Agreement (Bapa).

The building is designed by leading Bristol practice, @awwinspired Architects and features 5, 7 and 10 bed cluster flats and studios. There will be a laundry room on the first floor and three accessible studio flats as well as ample communal spaces for the students to socialise in, including a common room on the first floor facing the river and an external roof terrace on the fourth floor.

In terms of consideration for the environment, there will be photovoltaics (PV) on the roof with electric heating plus a living wall on the north elevation, green roofs, bird and bat boxes and new planting on Lower Bristol Road. The site is just a half hour walk, ten minutes by bus or a ten-minute cycle to the centre of the city as well as a five-minute walk to @bathspauni campus. This convenient location therefore encourages a sustainable, car-free lifestyle and provides ease for students.

Alumno are set to develop a new project on Moss La

Alumno are set to develop a new project on Moss Lane East in Manchester following a successful planning application submitted by Cityside UK. @manchestercitycouncil recently approved the development, which is designed by architects Carson Sall and comprises a newbuild nine-storey block along with the refurbishment of an adjacent listed Georgian Villa overlooking Whitworth Park.

The scheme will house 261 students in a mix of cluster en-suite rooms and self-sufficient studios, including a proportion of affordable accommodation. Residents will also have access to a hub of amenities including private study booths, collaboration space, lounges, cinema, gym, karaoke zone and a wellbeing room. The location is highly convenient for students, with Moss Lane East, which runs north-south, populated extensively by facilities from both Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Manchester.

Commenting on the new development, Alumno Managing Director David Campbell said: “We are delighted that working with our partners Cityside we have achieved planning consent for our next project in Manchester, which involves the construction of a new block and refurbishment of a listed building. We are looking forward to commencing work on the site later this year. This will be our second project in the city in quick succession following the successful delivery of Church Inn in 2022, and it will further help relieve pressure on local housing in a city chronically underserved by PBSA by 65%.”

Cityside said “We are excited to help the city deliver much needed PBSA bed spaces and see this come forward with Alumno.”

The student photography competition sponsored by A

The student photography competition sponsored by Alumno and launched by @photonorthfest has been featured in this weekends @theyorkshirepost Arts Diary. The brief to students is “Your Community’. The esteemed judging panel include @channel4 `s Picture Team, and finalists will be displayed at @betonhouse_hfs Park Hill from November this year.

Photo North asked students to consider, what does community mean in 2023? This competition is to share through photography, a personal interpretation of community.

The project may want to explore a place of worship or employment; or focus on sexuality, politics, sport, a tradition, or other interest. Or explore what can divide communities in a particular village, town or city, focus on what causes tension and potential conflict.

@denchphoto award winning photojournalist and Photo North Curator says: “Photography connects us, no matter the background, through photography Photo North aim to provide people with an advanced understanding of the social issues we are all facing today, to engage debate and hopefully inspire”.

This is a fantastic opportunity for all students to embark on this competition as a summer project, it is open to any student, irrespective of what they are studying, they can simply be an avid photographer wishing to enhance their skills.

The finalist’s celebration event will be exciting, with a full evening of exhibitions, talks & screenings, on November 16th at Beton House, Park Hill.
