SES Engineering Services has landed a major M&E contract at Leeds Beckett University for a new £45 million sports hub.

The project, being delivered by contractor Galliford Try, will involve building a new state-of-the-art Carnegie Teaching and Research Building, which will house the Carnegie School of Sport, located at the Headingley campus.

The development will include a hypoxic laboratory, a health and wellbeing studio, an indoor 60m sprint track for performance training and analysis, a roof walker track and terrace, and an enhanced strength and conditioning space as well as changing and recovery facilities.

SES will design and install a full range of building services on the development.

SES business director North and Scotland, Steve Joyce, said: "Having recently had the privilege of working with Galliford Try on a number of complex higher education facilities, such as the award-winning refurbishment of the University of Leeds' world-class School of Chemical and Process Engineering, we have amassed a great deal of knowledge and experience of the sector.

"To be involved with such an innovative building as the Carnegie Teaching and Research Building further cements our excellent working relationship with the contractor. It also presents a further opportunity for SES to demonstrate its BIM Level 2 experience to great effect."

The Carnegie Teaching and Research Building is scheduled for completion in Autumn 2019.
