The contract includes post-graduate student accommodation located in the centre of the North West Cambridge Development.
Cambridge-based architectural practice, RH Partnership, designed the 325-bed project around a house model which is inspired by collegiate living intrinsic to Cambridge.
Gavin Heaphy, Construction Director of the North West Cambridge Development said: “Adding Graham to the family of contractors working at the North West Cambridge Development is fantastic.”
Jonathan Hall Construction Director of Graham, London/South East said: “Graham are delighted to have secured this contract with the University of Cambridge, one of the world’s oldest universities and leading academic centres, and play a part in its greatest expansion in history.”
Graham will work with the University’s North West Cambridge Development consultants, Turner and Townsend Project Management and Gardiner and Theobald Cost Management.
The post-graduate accommodation will be available for occupation in Autumn 2016. There will be phased completions across the first phase of the North West Cambridge Development from Autumn 2015 through to Spring 2017.
Earlier this month Willmott Dixon secured an £11m contract to build the primary school that will be operated by the University.
The school, designed by Marks Barfield Architects, will be the first completed building as part of the North West Cambridge Development.
