SMART FIRE PREVENTION SYSTEM INSTALLED IN NEW BUILD STUDENT ACCOMMODATION
What was the need?
Vega is a 37-storey new build property in Vauxhall, South London ideally located near to universities such as University of Westminster. The building houses a variety of 841 studio and shared student apartments and has a roof-terrace, on site-gym, cinema room etc for student use, as well as a six-storey open plan office.
As the student accommodation had cooking facilities which included a hob, fire safety protection was considered to be of a particular importance.
