The firm bid close to £44m to build the project, which includes new sport-specific accommodation designed to secure Loughborough’s place as a training centre for elite athletes.
The new accommodation will be built on a site adjacent to the existing High Performance Athletics Centre. The rooms will include up to 70 student athlete rooms and 40 elite athlete rooms.
The scheme, which involves around seven new blocks rising to five floors, is scheduled for completion by September 2019.
Some existing buildings will need to be demolished to make way for the new halls of residence and energy centre.
