Quebec House

Quebec House student accommodation has been designed to offer high standards of comfort, access and sustainability. Rooms receive the maximum amount of natural light and benefit from heat recovery systems. Waste recycling is encouraged with dedicated bins. There are solar panels on the building's roof and solar cladding on the south facing elevation. Harvested rainwater is used to flush toilets and water the lavender-planted gardens.
