Two new halls of residence, designed by Rick Mather Associates, are currently under construction at the University of East Anglia. All 800 of the near-identical student rooms have en-suite, prefabricated bathrooms, designed to be craned into position. Their low energy design required high standards of air-tightness and that mechanical ventilation systems be threaded through the buildings.
Airtight additions to the campus.
