SES Wins Contract With Multiplex
SES Engineering Services is set to begin work on a £90 million learning space for the University of Glasgow.
The firm won a contract with project leader Multiplex Construction Europe to install the full range of MEP building services for the HLM-designed development.
SES will maximise its highly efficient offsite manufacturing capability whilst applying its tried and tested just-in-time delivery approach.
The firm's business director North and Scotland, Steve Joyce said: "SES is delighted to be given this opportunity to work with Multiplex on a building which marks the start of such programme of investment for the University of Glasgow. I look forward to forging a strong working relationship with the main contractor and wider project team which will ensure that we meet the build programme.
"I am confident that this will pave the way for SES to work on future schemes as the campus development programme is rolled out."
The new James McCune Smith Learning Hub is the catalyst project and the first building to be delivered as part of the university's £1 billion investment in its Campus Development Programme.
It will cater for over 2,500 students across seven storeys, featuring flexible open learning space, five lecture theatres, interactive teaching spaces and seminar and group study spaces.
The James McCune Smith Learning Hub (JMSLH) has been named after the American physician who graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1837, becoming the first African American to receive a medical degree.
The new facility is due for completion ahead of the 2020/2021 academic year.
