£10m Degree Apprenticeship Centre Handed Over In Warwick
A new three-storey development centre for apprentices has been handed over to the University of Warwick.
Kier completed work on the £10m Degree Apprenticeship Centre for WMG, which saw the construction of a 2,400m² centre. It houses a number of teaching rooms, breakout space for students, employee offices, a laboratory and a wind tunnel to be used for transportation aerodynamics.
The new building will provide up to 1,000 student places and provide training programmes up to Level 7 (equivalent to a Master's Degree).
Mark Pausey, managing director at Kier Regional Building Central, said: "Handing this project over on time and on budget to the client is great. Throughout this project, we have engaged heavily with the local community and have enjoyed delivering social value to the area.
"We are thrilled to have reached this completion, I look forward to seeing the centre flourish and to continue our strong relationship with the University of Warwick and WMG."
The contractor put a large emphasis on social value activities, giving 8% of the contract value back through social value like apprenticeship opportunities and student site visits.

It has been wonderful to welcome the first intake of apprentices being able to provide a dynamic and professional environment in which to study and to develop the skills needed for their future careers and for the businesses in which they work."
