ISG Jackson will build a combined teaching block and sports hall at the 260 acre parkland site. This is the first phase of the college's master plan to consolidate its existing facilities across St Albans onto its Smallford Campus.
A two-storey, L-shaped steel frame structure will house teaching accommodation for art, fashion and design departments down one axis, with the other axis incorporating a new sports hall with capacity for eight badminton courts and a gym.
The scheme will include a sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) with a series of swales and ponds that regulate waste water discharge and provide a wildlife habitat to enhance biodiversity across the site.
The project also sees ISG Jackson create two artificial flood lit sports pitches alongside the new building for college and community usage.
Work is due to begin in August with completion scheduled for early autumn 2012.
