A university in Wales, UK is
planning to build four Mongolian yurts to house 34 students.
The plan is part of an overhaul
of a former youth hostel purchased by University of Central Lancashire.
Town leaders, however, have
insisted that the yurts be temporary structures to be removed in two
years.
In documents to be presented
to the Denbighshire’s planning committee next Wednesday, the university
has said it is, “currently in the process of acquiring the site and
the erection of the yurts is required to provide outdoor development
work for experimental learning.
“However, given their canvas
construction, it is considered prudent to include a condition limiting
the yurts to a temporary period only.”
Students will live in the yurts
while the hostile undergoes renovations.
