Cardiff University has selected BAM Construction to deliver its new Hadyn Ellis Building, the circa £20 million development forming the gateway to its Maindy Park campus.

At around 10,000 square metres, the Hadyn Ellis Building is a science-led facility for post-graduate medical research that will house lecture theatres, clinics, laboratory spaces and office accommodation amongst other facilities. It will feature an impressive atrium, zinc cladding and a concrete cantilevered staircase, and range between three-four and five storeys.

Justin Price, who has been appointed as BAM's Project Manager, said: "We are very keen indeed to show Cardiff University what we can do and to develop a strong relationship. In very competitive market conditions we've secured this prestigious development of a highly sophisticated building which will look really impressive. We're excited about our new partnership and working with the University and its community."

BAM resumes a well-established partnership with Nightingale Associates, the architects, with whom it has worked extensively on the Welsh Health Framework. BDP are the structural engineers and AECOM will design the M&E services.

The new building aims to achieve BREEAM 'excellent' status.
