EcoResidences

Breeam Award

The Eco Residence at Lancaster University received a BREEAM Excellent rating in 2008, and was the first replicable, scalable model of its kind in the HE sector. In 2010 UPP's innovative Eco Residence at Leeds Metropolitan University won the UK BREEAM Award in the Multi-Residential category. Part of the scheme has now been certified as meeting PassivHaus criteria, marking it out as the UK’s first student accommodation facility to achieve this standard of sustainable design.

UPP's pioneering Eco Residence scheme at Lancaster was awarded the prestigious BREEAM Excellent rating in 2008 and in one of only four UK BREEAM award winners in the Multi-Residential category. Future schemes promise even more, with Passivhaus technology to replace the need for heating, rainwater recycling and more energy efficient lighting and ventilation.

University Partners

A partnership approach

At UPP, we believe in genuine partnerships that deliver mutual benefit. During the last ten years, UPP has earned a well-deserved reputation for excellence, acting as a provider of on-campus university student residential accommodation through long-term partnership agreements with UK universities.

Each of our 11 university partners has particular goals and requirements and UPP Residential Services Limited (URSL) tailors planning and delivery to exactly match their needs. To achieve this, we work seamlessly with universities, ensuring our partners remain the key point of contact on site, providing a ‘friendly face’ for resident students. More than a decade of experience in university student housing provision enables key senior staff and our local teams to respond quickly and effectively to both individual circumstances and the changing demands of the higher education sector and its customers. However, what really defines URSL is the dedication of our people and their ability to react to the myriad of queries we receive daily. We strive for constant improvement in an ever changing environment.
