Construction News Image
Galliford Try has completed three new contract wins in the higher education and schools sectors for its building business.

The business has agreed a £38m contract with Northumberland County Council to build a new education campus in Hexham for the Hadrian Learning Trust. The project will co-locate Hexham Middle School and Queen Elizabeth High School on the existing high school site, including the creation of new sports facilities, open to the community.

In the West Midlands, the business has signed a £27m contract with University of Birmingham to build The University of Birmingham: The Exchange at 3 Centenary Square, in the heart of the city. The project will see the transformation of the former Municipal Bank building into spaces for research and public engagement, alongside collaborative working spaces and an incubator for graduate and student start-up businesses.
