Construction firm BAM has won the multi-million pound contract to build a brand new, world class teaching centre for Teesside University.

The £20m campus heart development will transform the centre of the University campus offering unrivalled modern, flexible teaching facilities for students with state-of-the-art new and innovative learning spaces and technologies.

Extensive landscaping and public realm will also provide an attractive and vibrant centre to the campus which will be enjoyed by students and the wider community.

BAM, who were responsible for Middlesbrough's BoHo Centre, will deliver a facility with an impressive BREEAM ‘excellent’ rating and a string of strong environmentally friendly features.

Malcolm Page, Teesside University Chief Operating Officer, said: "This is a fantastic new development for the University and represents a significant investment for students, the community and for Middlesbrough and the region. BAM were chosen for this project because of their innovative approach to the project which offered a top class solution to delivering our vision along with a strong emphasis on value for money."

Work will begin on construction in April and a visitor centre will be on site so students, the community and visitors to the campus can be kept informed of its development as it progresses. The project will also be used as a live example of building information modelling (BIM) for study groups.
