The Mount Oswald site includes 24,901m2 of internal floor area, split across two colleges, with a total of 992 bedrooms and associated kitchen/diner facilities provided within blocks of townhouses and cluster flats.  There are also Heart Buildings associated with each College, comprising canteen and bar facilities as well as office accommodation.

The construction phase of the project was delivered on time and within budget, benefiting from the use of off-site manufactured pre-cast concrete floor slabs and wall panels, facilitating speed of installation and ability to make the buildings watertight rapidly, thereby enabling internal trades to progress without delay.
