Graham Construction has been appointed to a college refurbishment project in West Yorkshire.

Calderdale College selected the contractor for its £9 million Unlocking Potential scheme.

Designed by Jefferson Sheard Architects, the scheme will see Graham refurbish three floors of the college's Percival Whitley Centre to create modern learning facilities and a Learning Resource Centre (LRC).

Once completed, the new facilities will allow the College to provide new courses in games design, video editing, visual effects, computer sciences, dentistry, pharmacy, health, social care, childcare, engineering and manufacturing.

The project is due to begin later this month with an estimated completion date in August 2016.

It is being co-funded by Calderdale College and the Leeds City Region Enterprise Partnership.

Gary Hughes, GRAHAM regional director for the North of England, said: "This contract demonstrates our continuing growth and reflects our strong reputation for outstanding works within the education sector. It also emphasises the benefits of the value we place on a collaborative approach and working partnerships with clients and local authorities."
