We are delighted to announce that the Leicester College Engineering Block, has been shortlisted for the esteemed ProCon Leicestershire Awards 2024 in the Small Non-Residential category.
This recognition highlights the exceptional transformation of the Engineering and Technology Centre, which has set a new benchmark in educational facilities across Leicestershire.
The redevelopment of this building is part of Leicester College’s commitment to providing cutting-edge resources and an enriched learning experience for students pursuing T-Level engineering qualifications. We are proud to have played a key role as the main contractor in this project, delivering a state-of-the-art educational environment that redefines the student learning journey.
A Transformation for the Future of Learning
The project involved the substantial remodelling and refurbishment of an existing building, designed to create a highly flexible and specialised engineering teaching centre. With improved acoustics, health and safety measures, and enhanced comfort and sustainability features, the facility now accommodates advanced equipment, ensuring a superior learner experience.
Key highlights of the project include the part-removal of the ground-floor workshop wall and its replacement with a glazed curtain wall. This modernisation not only transformed the building’s main entrance but also improved its thermal performance and connectivity with the wider campus, giving the entire facility a fresh, contemporary look.
