Why is Unite Students planning on replacing the external facade on some of its buildings?

Works to the external facade of some of our buildings are being carried out following our most recent independent fire risk assessment (these happen annually), which made recommendations that, as a responsible landlord, we feel we should act on.

We’d like to stress that none of our properties have the same brand or system of external facade as the material used on Grenfell Tower. The building remains safe to occupy and the recommendations made in the audit are not mandatory.
