The new teaching and learning building is the first project in a comprehensive redevelopment of the university’s central campus.
Procured through Scape Group’s National Major Works framework, it brings the total value of recent higher education major project wins for Willmott Dixon to £250m.
The run of work includes similar facilities for universities that include Kent, Cambridge, Bournemouth, Birmingham City, West London and Brighton, all of which are ongoing or have been completed in the last year.
The teaching and learning building will see Willmott Dixon provide the University of Warwick with a facility that has 250 and 500 seat lecture theatres alongside new teaching and seminar space plus social and network areas – all accessible by faculties across the university.
Peter Owen, managing director at Willmott Dixon in the Midlands, said: ”Our recent experience in higher education includes the new Curzon Building at Birmingham City University and we’ll be using our experience of working in live environments to ensure we create a centrepiece for Warwick that will provide an excellent learning environment for many generations to come.”
Willmott Dixon is working with Berman Guedes Stretton, architect, and Pick Everard, as project manager.
The Teaching and Learning Building will be complete in July 2016.
