The contractor will deliver a three-storey building to hold 670 students aged 14 to 19.
TheCambridge UTC will specialise in biomedical and environmental sciences and technologies.
It will include five super labs on the top floor. These will hold 90 students each, with three capable of joining together to emulate large-scale research conditions.
Sustainability features will include a combined heat and power plant to provide low-carbon energy; photovoltaic cells; and gravel beds to control rainwater run-off.
The UTC will be built adjacent to the massive £175m Laboratory of Molecular Biology, which was completed last year.
BAM regional design manager Malcolm Boyd said: “The LMB project helped us develop our designs for the science laboratories in the UTC, a key contribution to this important win for BAM.
Start on site is scheduled for September 2013, with the UTC due to open a year later at the start of the 2014/15 academic year.
