GLYNDWR University has completed its £11m acquisition of Wrexham Student Village.
The acquisition means that Wrexham Glyndwr University now own the 323 en suite bedroom complex and the land adjacent to the building, next to the football stadium.
Nine Wrexham Village staff have also transferred to employment within Wrexham Glyndwr University.
Director of operations, Lynda Powell said: “This acquisition is part of our Campus 2025 strategy to improve and enhance our campuses for current and future students.
“One of the planning applications we have just submitted as part of our Campus 2025 strategy is to seek outline planning permission to build a further 200 bedrooms in the future.
“Our student village plans will provide a student population who will be economically active in supporting retail, leisure and other town centre uses.”
