‘“The refurbishment is an important part of the college’s strategy to maximise space to accommodate its student population.”Peter Owen, Managing Director ,
Willmott Dixon.
A-Block is one of Loughborough College’s key teaching buildings, but its 1960s-built home was no longer fit for purpose. The project was part of a £20m upgrade programme at Loughborough College.
The project, procured through Scape Group’s Major Works framework, finished several weeks early.
Extensive structural surveys carried out have assisted in developing robust design and costing. Block A forms a central circulation area for adjacent existing college buildings. A new roof and replacement cladding to envelope the building has been used.
