Overview
At Murraywood Construction, we are working with McLaren Construction Group on a redevelopment and restoration project at St. Gabriel’s. In total, around 319 student bedrooms are proposed across two new blocks and the revamped St Gabriel’s and Woodthorpe halls. The new-builds on the eastern and western edges of the site would be five storeys in height at their tallest.
Established in 1920 by the Roman Catholic Passionist Sisters as women-only student accommodation, parts of St Gabriel’s Hall date back to the 1850s. Together with Woodthorpe Hall, this part of St Gabriel’s will be refurbished, while St David’s Hall – built in 1935 as part of wider proposals for a new church that were never realised – will be demolished as part of the redevelopment.
