£1.3m refurbishment project completes at historic Nottingham College building
Contractor Miller Knight has completed a 23-week, £1.3m refurbishment project at Nottingham College’s historic rade II listed Stoney Street campus.
Situated in the Lace Market, Nottingham College’s School of Art hosts over 2,500 students pursuing art and design courses.
Improvements to the building included the installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and LED lighting, alongside major refurbishments of teaching areas, windows, and WC facilities.
The work was co-ordinated to ensure minimal disruption, as the campus remained fully operational throughout the project.
Dave Swift, construction manager at Miller Knight, said: “The team at Miller Knight and our key contractors are delighted to deliver another successful scheme for Nottingham College and EDGE. It was a difficult project to deliver logistically, but the entire team worked closely with the college to complete it with minimum inconvenience.
“The team even managed to bring into the programme some essential additional repairs to the Grade II listed building to go above and beyond on the project, aligning the college with contemporary standards for education and sustainability, while honouring the building’s historical significance.”
Gary McGinty, director of estates and capital projects at Nottingham College, said: “We are fortunate to have such a beautiful Grade II listed building as part of the Nottingham College estate, but maintaining such a historic building can present unique challenges.
“Partnering with Miller Knight on the four-floor refurbishment has been a truly collaborative effort, transforming the space back into a high-quality education setting where our students can thrive. The addition of photovoltaic panels and LED lighting is also another significant step towards our goal to become carbon neutral by 2030.”
