The London South East Colleges (LSEC) has selected Kier to redevelop its Greenwich campus. As part of the project, which has an overall value of £47 million, Kier has been awarded a contract which will see the existing buildings demolished and a state-of-the-art educational facility constructed.

Awarded through the Procure Partnership Framework, the 5,654m² five storey college will provide new facilities that are specifically designed to support learning. Alongside classrooms, there will be wellbeing spaces and a student welfare area, as well as specialist rooms to aid student interests, including a Mac studio, a training kitchen and learning resource centre.

The design of the college has a sustainability focus, with BREAAM Outstanding targeted. The building will include roof top air source heat pumps combined with a highly efficient ambient loop heating and cooling system. On the roof an array of photovoltaic panels are combined with an intensive solar green roofing system. The campus will remain open and operational throughout the project.

In addition, 294 high-quality new homes are being built on the site with 50% designated as affordable housing. The £47m project is being supported by the Royal Borough of Greenwich, the Greater London Authority and the Department for Education (DfE).
