A former university building in Birmingham has been sold and is now set to be turned into residential accommodation. Richmond House, in the Jewellery Quarter, was previously home to University College Birmingham (UCB) but has now been acquired by London-based AR&V Investments.
The 67,000 sq ft building spans seven storeys and, subject to planning permission, is expected to be transformed into residential accommodation. Specific details on the proposals, at the corner of Great Charles Street Queensway and Newhall Street, have not yet been released.
UCB has recently vacated the building but it ceased using it for teaching last October.
