Live + Relax
Nova offers 437 beds, with three room options available to suit all preferences and budgets. En-suites are perfect for students looking to share the university experience with friends and enjoy a social experience. Linked rooms provide the opportunity to share with a friend and studios are available for those who favour the joys of solitude.
Socialise + Study
With 858 beds and a wide range of different room-types, we had to design the vast social space to appeal to a large group of students.
The social area was split across two floors and across two different buildings to maximise the community within the building.
We created a dedicated event space with fridge and cooking facilities, dubbed The Pantry because of its design. Also encouraging that community spirit, we had two private dining areas, break-out gaming, TV and KTC rooms and a study Library for collaborative learning.
LIVE WELL + BE WELL
Virtual gym classes. Dedicated cardio equipment. Outdoor bootcamp space. The students of Nottingham demanded quality fitness zones as part of their University experience so we delivered with Nova.
