The contract will see Shepherd delivering a new hall of residence and ancillary facilities for staff and associated service areas.
Work is due to start on-site in early July and complete 61 weeks later.
The new accommodation will provide around 500 additional student bedrooms to the 5,778 rooms already on-campus. The development will also provide a resident warden’s house, one deputy warden flat and 11 residential tutors’ flats, together with associated service and amenity areas.
Shepherd Construction west division managing director Peter Millett said the award of the contract “underlines our growing strength in the university sector.”
The scheme was designed by Warwick-based architect Robothams to achieve a BREEAM ‘excellent’ and EPC ‘A’ rating.
Shepherd Construction is also currently on-site with the delivery of student accommodation at Arch Bar and Marlborough Street in Manchester; a new research facility on behalf of the University of Liverpool; and a library refurbishment for the University of York.
