A dive into all things Sustainability
In this four part series, we invited a range of expert guests to join us on our Accommodation Matters podcast to talk all things sustainability.
Our panel covered everything from the future of environmental sustainability in PBSA, what sustainable construction looks like at Unite Students, the future of social impact in Higher Education and the future of race and inclusion in student accommodation.

What the 2024 UK General Election means for student accommodation
Political decisions can reshape the whole Higher Education landscape, and many in the sector were keeping a close eye on the 2024 UK General Election. So we enlisted an expert panel and host Jenny Shaw to tell us exactly what the General Election might mean for Higher Education, students and student accommodation in a special General Election podcast episode.

What the Building Safety Act means for student accommodation
Grenfell Tower (2017). The Cube student accommodation fire, Bolton (2019). Two disasters that reshaped the landscape for building safety in student accommodation, and led to stringent new legislation in the Building Safety Act.
But what does the Building Safety Act actually mean for purpose-built student accommodation? How can we trust that students are safe in our buildings? And how can you make sure you’re compliant with the regulations? We’ve got you covered with our 40 minute deep-dive into the issue.
