The University is undertaking a series of upgrades to improve the quality, fitness-for-purpose, and utilisation of the existing spaces. Some pilot fitout projects have already been undertaken across two floors of J Block; the development of these spaces has provided the University with a good design template for learning and working spaces, and they are now looking to apply the concepts and learnings across the remaining spaces in the same building chain.

The I & J Block upgrade will enhance the learning and working spaces, improving the campus experience for both students and staff, and equipping the University with flexible, future-focussed learning and working spaces. To achieve this, we are looking to appoint a Main Contractor with a strong track record of delivering high-quality fitouts on time while working within an operational environment. The University is looking for a Contractor who can work alongside them and the established design team to finalise the design and design documentation in a pragmatic and efficient manner. This is unlikely to look like a traditional design or documentation process. The University also requires the Contractor to plan the staging of the works in a way that maximises the construction programme. This includes commencing work in stages as the spaces become available and returning completed areas to the University as soon as possible.

This tender has been awarded.
