"We are delighted to be handing-over the final phase of this scheme."said Danny Murray, Morgan Sindall Managing Director of Construction North. "We had an excellent relationship with the staff and students at Harrop Fold and we have enjoyed working with them. We are confident the students will continue to excel at this superb new learning facility."
