Construction firm, Willmott Dixon, has won an £11m contract to develop a new primary school to be operated by the University of Cambridge.

Called the University of Cambridge Primary School, the three-form entry school will be BREEAM Excellent and will utilise thinking from the University's Faculty of Education to create flexible space that meets three key needs: providing primary education, teacher training and educational research.


The school, designed by Marks Barfield Architects, will be the first completed building as part of the North West Cambridge Development.

Willmott Dixon will work with the North West Cambridge Development consultants, Turner and Townsend Project Management and Gardiner and Theobald Cost Management.
