Fresh air for fresh thinking
Vent-Axia has delivered high-performance ventilation across Centre Court, Olympian’s landmark purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) development on Alfreton Road, Nottingham.
Built on the former Forest Mill site, which had stood derelict for over a decade, the scheme comprises 790 student beds alongside 19 affordable homes, supporting the regeneration of the area and meeting increasing demand for quality student accommodation. The £120 million scheme is just a 13-minute walk from the Nottingham Trent University campus.
The development consists of three buildings: The Alfreton Building, The Spine Building and The High Hurst Building. The development was completed in September 2025 with the first residents moving in for the new academic year.
The scheme is the first student accommodation in the UK to feature an outdoor padel court. It also includes a café and co-working space, study space, games area, private dining, gym, yoga studio, cinema room, gaming booth and a garden terrace.
Vent-Axia worked closely with the project team to supply a range of energy efficient ventilation solutions designed to deliver excellent indoor air quality (IAQ) while supporting modern airtight construction standards.
