Health and Life Sciences building update
Friday, 05 April 2019
Work on our new Health and Life Sciences building is progressing well. Colleagues who have passed by the site will have noticed that windows and exterior cladding is being installed. The image of a dragonfly’s wing in the glazing over the main entrance is now visible and will make the main entrance into a major feature. The wooden panels are temporary and will be replaced with red panels in the final building.
As the exterior of the building is complete progress will be less visible so there will be a monthly update from inside the new building. As well as the electrical services being installed from the ground floor up, the floor plan is being marked out ready for the interior walls to be raised.
With the completion of the main structure, exterior cladding will begin to be fitted to the building with construction scheduled to be completed in late 2019. The project demonstrates the University commitment to 2026: TRANSFORM capital investment programme, with £60m being invested to bring about closer integration of the school.
