Contractor named for £23m medical tech building
Contractor Henry Brothers has landed the contract to build the new Medical Technologies Innovation Facility (MTIF) for Nottingham Trent University.
The contract is the second awarded by the university to Henry Brothers, which is also building a new £23m engineering facility for the East Midlands university.
This latest facility will focus on the development of innovative products and advanced materials to meet future healthcare needs and is part of NTU’s dual-site £23m Medical Technologies Innovation Facility.
It is being built on the Clifton Campus, where a ground-breaking ceremony recently took place.
Ian Taylor, managing director of Henry Brothers Midlands, said: “Henry Brothers has partnered with a number of universities to create exciting and inspirational facilities for teaching, research and development.
“For the past year we have been working on a prestigious new engineering building for NTU, which is due to be completed for the upcoming academic year. We are delighted to have been appointed on a second scheme at the Clifton Campus to once again support Nottingham Trent University with its development plans.
“Our portfolio of higher education work includes the award-winning £12.5m STEMLab project and a £30m refurbishment of the W and S science buildings at Loughborough University. These partnerships and contracts have helped Henry Brothers to firmly cement our position as a key contractor in the Midlands and we look forward to delivering this important scheme.”
Henry Brothers secured the contract through the Pagabo Framework and will be working with architect Maber, which designed the facility, civil and structural engineer Curtins, project manager Edge, Gleeds as client cost advisor and quantity surveyor, and Couch Perry Wilkes for M&E services.
