The University of Warwick has plans to expand its course offerings and research in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
It is investing £700m in new facilities on its campus, including a £425m Science and Engineering Precinct.
Kier has been named preferred lead contractor for phase one. It is due to start construction when all enabling works have been completed later this year.
The lead consultant and principal designer is BDP.
University vice-chancellor Stuart Croft said: “Appointing a contractor to deliver Phase 1 of the STEM Connect Programme is a really big moment in the journey of the Connect Programme and is a timely milestone in the University’s 60th anniversary year.?
“The STEM Connect Programme is a transformative initiative that will not only enhance learning opportunities for our students, but also strengthen our global reputation as a leader in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
“We are excited to partner with Kier to bring this ambitious vision to life, and the appointment of one of Britain’s strongest contractors is a major milestone and reflects the pace of our delivery.”?
Mark Dady, managing director of Kier Construction Eastern & Midlands, said: “We look forward to bringing our experience of delivering world-class educational facilities to create a building that will enable and inspire collaboration, innovation and sustainability on campus.”?
