Walker will supply pods to Manchester’s £130m Echo Street site where B&K is main contractor and Glasgow’s Bath Street being built by Graham Construction.

Shane Walker, the founder of Walker Modular, said: “IQ champions innovation for their clientele, mirroring Walker Modular‘s dedication to exceptional manufacturing.”

The Echo Street site will contain over 1,200 student rooms within sleek, interconnected towers of varying sizes.

Walker Modular‘s signature composite bathroom pods will be manufactured in one-piece making them watertight and removing leak concerns.

Walker said: “Our design ensures a lifelong watertight guarantee. Many competitors opt for a glued flat-pack design, which tends to wear out over time. In terms of longevity, our pods remain unparalleled in the industry.”

At Bath Street Walker Modular will work with Graham Construction on 500 premium student beds.

Walker said: “This collaboration paves the way for advancements in student housing, merging innovative, design-focused solutions with robust construction. With this partnership, the future of student accommodation looks bright, promising students a living experience that marries design excellence with structural integrity.”
