Pill architects win university deal

THERE are no economic blues for a Pill firm of architects after it won a major contract from an Oxford university.

GSS Architecture has been appointed by Oxford Brookes University to carry out the detailed design of a £17 million student accommodation project.

It will provide an additional 358 places for both post graduates and undergraduates.

GSS partner Michael Magri said: "The attractive new buildings will comprise a series of linked three and four storey pavilions arranged around a central quadrangle."

Final drawings are now being prepared so that construction tenders can be sought.

It is hoped to have some of the new accommodation ready by September 2010.

GSS has been working with Oxford Brookes University for over ten years, and in that time has designed projects valued at over £72 million.
