The former BT building in Mile Lane is being refurbished into a new cutting-edge learning hub for its students and faculty. It will house up to 3,000 students and faculties, with features including teaching rooms, IT suites, engineering and science labs, as well a café and extensive breakout areas for more social learning. Wilmott Dixon will deliver the scheme.
Thermal insulation will be provided to the pipework and ductwork services from Western Thermal under a £180,000 contract.
The company will work alongside NG Bailey to complete the work.
