Project details
Helix FMS was appointed to carry out passive fire protection works at The Courtyard, a large on-campus student accommodation complex at the University of Hull.
This project focused on enhancing the building's fire compartmentation and ensuring all fire-stopping systems met current safety standards without impacting the day-to-day lives of students or staff.
Our role was to support the university’s commitment to safety by delivering expert fire protection that seamlessly integrated with the building’s existing infrastructure.
Helix FMS delivered a complete package of fire-stopping remediation and upgrades, designed to protect students, staff, and university assets. Ensuring all works were discreetly integrated into the existing build with no compromise to aesthetics or function.
Working within live student accommodation presented a number of challenges that required clear communication, flexibility, and fast, clean execution. Minimising disruption and coordinating closely with university facilities and estates teams to meet tight project timelines to align with operational needs and occupancy cycles.
The Courtyard now benefits from enhanced passive fire protection, improving compartmentation and fire resistance throughout the building. Students and staff can be confident that their accommodation is protected with robust, up-to-date fire safety measures, installed with care and certified for compliance.
This project is part of Helix FMS’s ongoing work within the education sector, supporting universities, colleges, and schools across the UK in creating safer spaces to live, learn, and thrive. We’re proud to contribute to the safety of the next generation with passive fire protection built to last.
