The building is being delivered by Seddon Construction, which has been appointed as main contractor by the developer Noviniti Limited, to construct a new facility to house veterinary services on the Keele University Science and Innovation Park.
The vet school is a joint venture between Keele University and Harper Adams University.
Part of the building will incorporate teaching facilities, a clinical skills centre and a Veterinary School hub, which will be a veterinary 'home' for Harper and Keele Veterinary School staff and students on the campus. The other wing of the building will be home to various complementary users.

Sir Keith Pearson, Chairman of Noviniti Limited, said: "We are delighted to have been appointed as developers on this important higher education project with Keele University. The building is a powerful statement by Harper Keele in these difficult times, and confidently points to a strengthened education future for Keele, when Covid will be behind us."
John Shannon, divisional director at Seddon, added: "Once completed, this will be an exemplary learning facility for veterinary students to gain first-class education for years to come. We’re progressing the build well and can’t wait to see the finished building buzzing with activity."
The veterinary facility will open in early 2022.
