The project involves the £70m redevelopment of two secondary schools, Southfields Community College and Burntwood School.
Following Lend Lease’s appointment as preferred bidder in June 2010, planning permission was secured in December 2010. Work is expected to start next month with Southfields complete by the end of 2013 and Burntwood by early 2014.
Lend Lease group chief executive officer and managing director Steve McCann said: “We look forward to continuing to work closely with the council to deliver the schools as they will play an important role in increasing educational opportunities in the local area.
“In addition, these projects add to our infrastructure pipeline in the UK and the partnership has the potential to deliver additional infrastructure schemes over its 10-year tenure.”
