Graham will construct the new  ‘making hub’ for the University’s Faculty of Technology, Design and Environment.

Work will start next month on 64-week programme.

The £18m contract was secured through a framework to support the delivery of the University’s 10-year estate investment plan, worth £220m.

Sitting to the east of Headington Hill Hall, within the protected Headington Hill Conservation Area, the new structure will replace the existing Helena Kennedy building.

Graham’s London office director, Rob Joyce said: “The construction of the new technology building forms part of Oxford Brookes University’s vision to deliver new and exciting spaces fit for learning, innovation and technical making skills.

“Construction of the new building will support the University’s withdrawal from the Wheatley Campus and bring forward high-quality facilities for academic use.”
