Bouygues UK has secured three new contracts worth over £15 million in Birmingham.

The deals were won through the Constructing West Midlands framework and will see projects delivered for the University of Birmingham and the city council.

The first contract involves delivering the £10m Centenary Square scheme, which will see newly redeveloped public realm created in the city centre. Designed by Graeme Massie Architects, the revamped square will include a water feature, 43 25-metre lighting columns, and a new destination for the Midland Metro. Work is set to get underway this month.


In addition, Bouygues UK will carry out a £5.5m refurbishment at the University of Birmingham's 52 Pritchatts Road facilities to provide teaching space for the Psychology and Brain Dependency unit.

Elsewhere, the company will start work to replace the structural cladding on the Elms Farm Primary School, in the Sheldon area of Birmingham.

Craig Tatton, Bouygues UK's Chief Operating Officer, said: "Birmingham is currently undergoing significant regeneration and we are pleased to continue to be part of the major improvements going on across the city by delivering the public realm redevelopment at Centenary Square.

"We are also thrilled to be undertaking our first project with the University of Birmingham and continuing our work in the education sector through the refurbishments of its facilities in Edgbaston, as well as a separate project with the Elms Farm Primary School. A combination of our collaborative approach to working with clients and partners, and our team's extensive technical expertise, has helped us to win these exciting projects and we look forward to bringing them to completion."
