Morgan Sindall Construction began construction on the University of Central Lancashire’s (UCLan) new veterinary school.
The project entails the partial refurbishment of an existing building on UCLan’s Preston campus building and the construction of a new four-storey structure on what is currently UCLan’s Greenbank car park, off Victoria Street.
When complete, the c. 4,650m2 school will offer a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across veterinary medicine and animal sciences. The project is scheduled to be completed in March 2025. The contract value was not disclosed.
UCLan vice-chancellor Graham Baldwin said: “Morgan Sindall has a very impressive track record of delivering inspirational and attractive learning environments at universities across the country so we are looking forward to working together.”
