The University of Warwick has plans to expand its course offerings and research in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
It is investing 拢700m in new facilities on its campus, including a 拢425m Science & Engineering Precinct, STEM Connect.聽
Kier has been named preferred lead contractor for phase one. It is due to start construction when all enabling works have been completed later this year.
The lead consultant and principal designer is BDP.
University vice-chancellor Stuart Croft said: 鈥淎ppointing a contractor to deliver Phase 1 of the STEM Connect Programme is a really big moment in the journey of the Connect Programme and is a timely milestone in the University鈥檚 60th anniversary year.鈥�
鈥淭he STEM Connect Programme is a transformative initiative that will not only enhance learning opportunities for our students, but also strengthen our global reputation as a leader in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
鈥淲e are excited to partner with Kier to bring this ambitious vision to life, and the appointment of one of Britain鈥檚 strongest contractors is a major milestone and reflects the pace of our delivery.鈥濃��
Mark Dady, managing director of Kier Construction Eastern & Midlands, said: 鈥淲e look forward to bringing our experience of delivering world-class educational facilities to create a building that will enable and inspire collaboration, innovation and sustainability on campus.鈥濃��
