The new development provides on-campus living for around 650 students close to the City Centre Campus project, featuring both en suite and non-en suite rooms, with several offering wheelchair access. The rooms are arranged in clusters and provide views of the newly developed City Park and city centre skyline. There are also communal leisure and study areas for students within cluster flats with a shared kitchen/lounge. Meanwhile, a single central reception provides secure access to the building.

In line with Birmingham Council’s preference for mixed-use developments, the ground floor of University Locks has been dedicated to business start-up or incubation units, with the aim of providing affordable office and studio space for the local community. Plus, a small shop has also been incorporated into the building.
