BOOK NOW | Education Property and PBSA
The student demographic is vital to the health and vibrancy of our towns and cities – hear from the likes of the University of Liverpool and Maslow Capital about how the places where we live and learn are evolving in our changing world.
Place North West is bringing together developers, universities, engineers, and more to explore whether education real estate is still fit for purpose and if we are heading in the right direction when it comes to providing good quality homes for students.
Education Property and PBSA aims to give attendees an in-depth look at the role universities and students can play in the growth and transformation of places like Manchester and Liverpool, while providing valuable market insight from those who know the sector inside out.
Expect a series of informative panel discussions, a presentation on the state of the PBSA sector across the North West, and examples of what universities are doing to stay ahead of the game.
In addition to the pre-programme breakfast and ample networking opportunities, you can also expect breaks in between sessions and a post-programme lunch and the chance to chat with attendees from companies including AEW Architects, Mills & Reeve, Together Money, and Morgan Sindall.
Place North West’s Education Property and PBSA update will begin at 8am at Innside by Melia on First Street in Manchester on Thursday 13 June.
This event is sponsored by LUC, Arup, and Yardi.
