The Marketgait ones are 20 years old and probably need refurbished.
Bell Street ones (ex BT building) are near completion.
The number of students at the two universities is approaching 20,000. Someone has done the sums and figured there's still room for growth.
Since the centre has almost ceased to be a retail destination, it makes sense to give it another purpose and a student village isn't the worst idea. The Arctic would appreciate the custom.
