Clugston Starts Work On New £13m Leeds College Of Building Campus
Clugston Construction has been appointed to build a new £13 million campus for the Leeds College of Building.
Designed by Fuse Studios, work is now underway on the new 5,200 sq m four-storey building, which will be developed alongside the College's existing South Bank campus, between Cudbear Street and Black Bull Street. Completion is scheduled towards the end of next year.
Features include a range of classrooms, workshops and a new central atrium. Once finished, a large proportion of Leeds College of Building's 7,000 students will then attend the two South Bank sites, with the remainder using the College's North Street campus.
Phase two of the Hunslet campus is being supported by an £11.9m grant through the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP) Growth Deal. As part of this funding, £1m will also be spent refurbishing the North Street campus.
Representatives from Leeds College of Building, Clugston Construction, West Yorkshire Combined Authority, Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and Fuse Studios were on site earlier this week to see work commence on site.
Ian Billyard, Principal at Leeds College of Building, said: "We're delighted to start work on this impressive project, within weeks of securing planning permission for it. Clugston Construction has a strong presence in Leeds and a successful track-record working on a wide range of high-profile education projects, throughout the North of England and beyond, which made the company the ideal partner for this contract."
Steve Radcliffe, Managing Director of Clugston Construction, added: "This is a superb project for Clugston to be involved with and especially because it will play such an important role in contributing to the future talent of the construction sector, at a time when there are clear skills shortages in the industry.
"We already boast an enviable track-record throughout the education sector and this new campus is made even more prevalent by the fact that it will showcase our work to future construction workers for generations to come."
