This awesome project is about a big and new development of city center campus at the northeastern edge. It includes more than a 350-bed facility with the Kensington Terrace refurbishment. The refurbishment is done along the three new buildings on the site. With the locally sourced bricks, the whole buildings offer a new look in the heart of the city.
