Health and Life Sciences building update
Tuesday, 30 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 nearing completion. This gives an idea of what the finished building will look like. As the last part of the roof structure (over the atrium) is in place we can look forward to the topping out ceremony in May.
With the exterior of the building not changing greatly from now until the completion of the project, there will be a monthly update from inside the new building. As well as the progress on the mechanical and electrical services, interior walls are starting to be raised creating the interior lay out of the building.
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.
