CGI of the new building, designed by Wilson Mason
Morgan Sindall’s £25m contract entails the partial refurbishment of an existing building on UCLan’s Preston campus building and the construction of a new four-storey structure on what is currently UCLan’s Greenbank car park, off Victoria Street.
Morgan Sindall will use Deltabeam composite slim-floor system within the new build structural frame to help speed construction and meet the March 2025 opening deadline.
When complete, the 50,000 sq ft school will offer a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across veterinary medicine and animal sciences.
UCLan vice-chancellor Graham Baldwin said: “Morgan Sindall has a very impressive track record of delivering inspirational and attractive learning environments at universities across the country so we are looking forward to working together.”
