Work on the new residencies complex will see the creation of 336 bed spaces. The complex - which will be built on the site of the University's Storie Street car park - has a scheduled completion date of July 2012.
The project is part of the University's £250m investment programme, which also includes a new £70m Ayr Campus and upgrade of classrooms and IT infrastructure across all campuses.
The new student accommodation will include bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and communal kitchen/living facilities provided for every cluster of 5 or 6 beds; a management suite; student lounge and laundry facilities.
