iQ
Intelligent Quarters
iQ is a specialist joint venture between Quintain and the Wellcome Trust that acquires, develops and operates student accommodation in the UK.
With a 44% increase in student numbers between 1997 and 2007 and the Government focused on a target of 50% of people entering higher education, the demographics underpinning this fund are strong. iQ is mandated to operate throughout the UK, targeting key university towns and cities with strong demand. There are currently nine operational schemes and a pipeline of further development.
There are nine schemes currently operating and two further schemes in Edinburgh are due to open in September 2010. One further scheme is under construction and will open in September 2011.
Quality and environment
iQ provides exceptionally high quality accommodation in this sector, managed by professional teams. Security and a supportive environment are priorities and a range of needs are catered for. Students can choose to live in small clusters of fully furnished ensuite bedrooms with a central living area, or in studio apartments with private facilities. All bedrooms have access to high-speed broadband. With such a high standard of facilities provided on every scheme, iQ has created a new individualised approach to student accommodation.
