The new three-storey health and bioscience building, HEBS 2, is being built by Mansell under a £11.5m contract.
The facility will provide 5,000m2 of teaching and research space and contain clinical and physiological diagnostic equipment for health professionals and patients. Other facilities include educational, training and research facilities, a gym for rehabilitation and an external car park and access road.
The contract is scheduled for completion in summer 2014 and will be constructed with a steel frame and masonry cladding. The project is designed to achieve a BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating.
The project forms part of the university’s East Park campus development, designed to provide a second building to house employees from the Human Sciences department and the School of Sport, Exercise and Health Sciences.
