Cycle parking and shelters for new student accommodation
Langley Design was approached by the RG Group to create cycle parking facilities and courtyard canopies for Parade Green, a new student accommodation development in Oxford with over 800 rooms. Inspired by Oxford’s historic college quads, the design provides plenty of open space to give it a village feel. There was a requirement for cycle parking
Langley Design was approached by the RG Group to create cycle parking facilities and courtyard canopies for Parade Green, a new student accommodation development in Oxford with over 800 rooms. Inspired by Oxford’s historic college quads, the design provides plenty of open space to give it a village feel.
Solution
There was a requirement for cycle parking facilities for the large number of occupants. As a leading UK manufacturer of timber cycle shelters, Langley Design were chosen to manufacture and install Sheldon units in various locations across the site. In order to optimise the use of space, two-tier cycle racks were seen to be the most suitable option to accommodate the large number of bikes.
The project also required canopies to be installed in the courtyard to provide covered seating areas for the students to enjoy the outdoor space in any weather. As a bespoke manufacturer, Langley were able to produce a canopy with timber cladding to the sides of the units which offered additional protection from the wind whilst still allowing airflow and light through the unit.
Outcome
The RG Group were delighted with the flexibility of the Langley Design installation service and their ability to meet the tight deadlines.
