Construction and support services firm Carillion has won three new building contracts worth approximately £137 million.

The contracts are for the new Rolls Building in London, two agreements with the Scottish Prison Service in Edinburgh and new offices for the Welsh Assembly Government in Aberystwyth.

The new 11-storey Rolls Building in Fetter Lane, will provide new office accommodation to replace the existing Rolls House, Arnold House and No 8 Bream Buildings for development manager Delancey Estates. The development is a joint venture on behalf of funds advised by Delancey and Invista Real Estate Investment Management and is due for completion in October 2009.

The contract for the Welsh Assembly Government will provide new multifunctional offices to accommodate up to 535 staff. The building will provide predominantly naturally ventilated open plan office space, heating from biomass boilers, rainwater harvesting and solar panels for hot water.

The contracts for the Scottish Prison Service (SPS), which have been awarded under a framework agreement with the SPS, involve the design and construction of a new 135-prisoner place house block at HMP Edinburgh and a new gate complex, kitchen, energy centre, prisoner reception, games hall and health centre for HM Young Offenders Institution Polmont at Falkirk.
