Refurbishment specialists, Better Green Living, has unveiled the latest renovated student bedrooms at King\u2019s College London\u2019s Great Dover Street Apartments near London Bridge, marking the next stage of work in transforming the university\u2019s residential offering.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the principal renovation and special works provider, Better Green Living has to date transformed over 60 flats, 392 bedrooms and bathrooms and 64 communal led kitchen spaces for the University, protecting the legacy of the revered institution.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the latest milestone in the 17-phase refurbishment project at the Great Dover Street apartments, which is expected to complete later this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working collaboratively with King\u2019s College London, Better Green Living consulted students at the outset of the project in 2021 to understand their needs and wants for student accommodation and communal spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n

The result is a scheme that blends architectural design, practicality of use, circular economy, and future maintenance considerations to create an inspirational study environment and modern space for students to socialise and relax.<\/span><\/p>\n

The flats have been fully refurbished to the highest industry standards, featuring complete rewiring and updated plumbing, as well as custom-designed furniture and murals in the bedrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 2021, Better Green Living has extensively refurbished spaces at King\u2019s College London Stamford Street apartments, to promote sustainability principles and student wellbeing. Better Green Living has implemented a zero-landfill policy to help reduce waste during the project, using strict circular economy principles such as recycling and repurposing materials, and ensuring the durability of products to avoid waste.<\/span><\/p>\n

Charles Gallagher, Director of King\u2019s Community Business Services, said: \u201cAt King\u2019s Residences, we\u2019re more than just a place to live \u2013 we\u2019re a community where over 6,000 students each year come to grow, learn, and create lasting memories. Whether it\u2019s navigating the challenges of independent living or celebrating milestones with friends, we\u2019re here to support students every step of the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur partnership with Better Green Living reflects our commitment to creating vibrant, inclusive spaces that feel like home. These upgraded residences aren\u2019t just about a roof over your head \u2013 they\u2019re about fostering connections, building life skills, and creating an environment where students can thrive during their time at King\u2019s and well into their future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Tom Dodson, Chief Operations Officer at Better Green Living, said: \u201cWe are proud to have created over 360 design-led environments for students living across King\u2019s College London and to unveil this latest phase of works. We work to cause minimal disruption for students and all our projects are thoughtfully curated with students’ well-being in mind, creating inviting communal spaces for connection and ensuring personal rooms provide a comfortable environment for their private time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith 17 phases in total across King\u2019s College London student accommodation, we have already completed 12 and have five phases remaining. We look forward to starting the next phase to create 165 even more modernised spaces for new cohorts of students joining the university in 2025.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
