The news follows the recent announcement that BAM has secured a £100m 'wave' of new work across Yorkshire.
BAM will create a Sixth Form Centre in the heart of the Yorkshire town, as well as a Construction Centre on the College's Honeywell campus.
The Sixth Form Centre will house a mixture of classrooms and lecture theatres on the former site of empty shops and a council library.

The Construction Centre will allow pupils to learn and practise traditional trades such as brickwork, plumbing and decorating, together with new green technology skills.
BAM Construction Director John Phillips said: "We look forward to delivering these new facilities for Barnsley College, which will give young people in the town 21st Century learning environments whether they wish to go down an academic or a vocational route.
"The Construction Centre in particular is close to our hearts, and we will be creating building works within the building to allow practical lessons and demonstrations in the future."
Work is due to start on the project in July.
