The scale of some of the construction projects is extraordinary. Lancaster University’s £100m-plus programme is the single largest university new accommodation project in the country.

The template for UPP’s pioneering Eco Residences was the first of its kind in the higher education sector and marks a giant step forward in the provision of energy efficient, low carbon and sustainable accommodation for students. The Lancaster development is one of only four student accommodation buildings in the UK to have achieved BREEAM Excellent status.
University Partnerships Programme (UPP) is the UK’s leading provider of on campus managed university accommodation.
Since 1997, we have been working with a wide range of university partners to supply risk-free solutions for the funding, design, build, and operation of high-quality academic and residential facilities. These range from new developments through to estate transfers and the refurbishment of existing premises. Schemes are delivered at no cost to universities, are off balance sheet and at the end of the lease are handed back to the institution in their entirety.
By using our Eco Residence construction model, UPP has gained a strong reputation for providing high quality, sustainable accommodation that will prove a positive asset to universities for years to come.
UPP is owned and actively supported by funds managed by Barclays Private Equity, part of Barclays Capital.
