Boston University nears completion



Construction is nearing completion on the new student housing project for Boston University in Regent Street, Sydney. The project for Ceerose Developments and ZVI Constructions will provide student accommodation for 175 students. The project was designed in association with SylvesterFuller Architects and It includes 2 theatres, cafe, administration and laundromat.

The unique design uses fissures to provide maximum solar access to berooms as well as natural ventillation throughout the building. We look forward to the first enrolments for January 2011.
