BAM to commence work on Bradford College' new $78 million campus
BAM Construction North East Limited, part of Royal BAM Group, is set to begin construction on a £50 million ($77.7 million) scheme of Bradford College to build a new campus in Bradford, UK.
Scope of work involves construction of a six-storey building, which will have an area of 23,000 square meters. The new building will be developed at the site of the college's existing Westbrook Building and Randall Well Building.
The new facility will accommodate more than 85 classrooms, five Hairdressing & Beauty Therapy salons, nine Science labs, four HE lecture theatres, four refectory areas, library access space on each floor and multi-faith space.
The project involves demolition of the Westbrook, McMillan, Appleton and Old Buildings. Work involves construction of a temporary entrance building off Carlton Street, which will serve as the new entrance for approximately two construction periods.
Work on the project is expected to begin in June 2012 and is planned for completion by September 2014. The project forms phase II of the College's Accommodation Strategy, which involves improvement of the campus efficiency by means removal of the number of sites as well as improvement in the quality of the space.
