GMI Construction Group has been appointed to construct a new almost 200,000 sq ft building on behalf of Harrier Park partners, leading urban regeneration specialist, Muse Developments and Rolls-Royce, together with new occupier RM Educational Resources.

Leading educational resource supplier, RM Educational Resources, agreed a deal in January to move their UK headquarters to the 195,840 sq ft building at the scheme, following a period of sustained growth.

RM is a leading supplier of technology and resources to the education sector, supporting schools, teachers and pupils across the globe – from pre-school to higher education – including examination boards, central governments and other professional institutions.

Dan Needham, development director at Muse Developments, said: "It's a proud milestone for everyone involved at Harrier Park. It's also a great opportunity to bring partners together and we look forward to working with RM, GMI and Rolls-Royce as the scheme progresses.
