 Sustainable Student Housing

Is students living in carbon neutral and attractive accommodation, with cheap rents and where they have a stake in the running, such a dream?

There are various models for student housing, from a couple of houses to buying land and building from scratch. The NUS and Urbed have been developing a co-operative model of new build halls of residence (30-40 people) for an urban environment. The designs involve building on a brown field site in standard materials such as concrete. Currently the Union is trying to gain funding for a feasibility study from the ‘Building communities fund’ which will allow the students union in conjunction with other organisations to develop a series of business plans for different co-operative models. On of the suggested models so far is a new ‘Eco build’ close to campus, involving the use of local materials and innovative construction techniques. There will be opportunities for students to get involved in this process over the coming months so keep an eye out or join the face book group http://uea.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2266534146.

The yurt shown is Bill Copperthwaite’s home in the Maine woods. It is 54' (eaves) in diameter and was designed so it could be built over a period of several years and still provide shelter during the process. It is a tri-centric, or three-ring yurt with 2700 sq. ft. of floor space.
