The contractor was awarded the mechanical and electrical (M&E) services deal by M+W Group and work is to begin this month.
Features include installing a new ventilation system, small power and lighting systems, fire and intruder alarms and a building management system.
Around 175 jobs will be created by the works, which will see Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick use Building Information Modelling (BIM) techniques to optimise the design, construction and performance of the building, as well as enable future maintenance to be engineered into the scheme.

In addition, the firm's in-house modularisation capability will be utilised for the bespoke design and off-site prefabrication of high-level multi-service modules, such as the roof top plant room, wiring, lighting and air handing plant.
Simon Lafferty, Balfour Beatty Kilpatrick Managing Director, said: "This facility will be a flagship building and will allow us to showcase our wide range of mechanical and electrical expertise, including our design team's knowledge of hi-tech and process sectors. We have collaborated with M+W Group to produce a joint BIM strategy, as well as detailed programme and commissioning plans to facilitate their needs both in the construction phase and beyond."
