Client: iQ Student Accommodation
Contract start date: June 2024
Completion: January 2025
Project type: Façade remediation and communal area refurbishment
Contract value: £375,000
Project Description:
Arte Construction delivered a two-stage remediation and refurbishment project at iQ Will Wyatt, a fully occupied 500-unit student accommodation building in Shoreditch. Early intrusive investigations informed the façade design and helped resolve construction details before work began.
The first stage involved replacing render and decking systems to improve fire performance and durability. The second delivered a new bin store extension, including groundworks, brickwork, fire-rated doors and finishes, alongside landscaping and external paving.
Working beside the Shoreditch Trust Community Facility and an NHS maternity outreach service required sensitive programming and careful control of noise, dust and access. A full-time Site Manager also acted as Resident Liaison Officer, supporting clear communication and completion of both stages on time.
