All of the 62 high-rise student accommodation buildings identified with Aluminium Composite Material cladding systems unlikely to meet Building Regulations are privately owned. Of these 28 have already been remediated and the remaining 34 are yet to be remediated.

Six of the 62 private sector high-rise student accommodation buildings identified are owned by universities / further education institutes.

MHCLG does not publish information which enables buildings to be identified as this could potentially pose a risk to the safety of residents. Hence, local authority areas or addresses are withheld.
