Architecture firm Broadway Malyan has won a competition to design a residential refurbishment scheme for students at Jagiellonian University Collegium Medicum in the Polish city of Krakow.
The 17,500 m2 scheme will be delivered for client Bouygues which is managing the project, set to be one of the first of its kind in Poland to be fully arranged via a Public Private Partnership (PPP).
It will see three existing 10-storey accommodation blocks, originally built during the Soviet era, overhauled through an internal reconfiguration, full refurbishment and new façade design.
A pavilion building housing educational and administrative facilities will also be partially refurbished and a wide range of new recreational and sports facilities, including a multi-purpose pitch, volleyball and tennis courts and running track, will be built on the four-hectare site.
The project is currently going through a design review process as the basis of a building permit application scheduled for April 2014.
