A student accommodation block, a supported living facility, and an extra care scheme are all proposed at the university’s Bowerham Road campus in Lancaster.
The 214-unit accommodation block would replace the existing William Thompson Tower, a 10-storey block that can house 165 students.
Following the demolition of William Thompson Tower, a new-build 10-storey block would be constructed in its place, according to plans lodged by the University of Cumbria.
The bedrooms would be arranged in clusters of five or six, with each cluster served by a kitchen/dining area and additional shared social space on each floor.
The main entrance to the block would be at ground level facing the Gateway campus building.
