The £12m job is expected to start at the end of February and will involve demolition of a single storey building at the intersection of Broad Lane and Newcastle Street in Sheffield.

This will make way for a seven storey building complex to house the Engineering Graduate School.

Tenders or requests to participate must be sent to Nick Jones at Turner & Townsend email: [email protected] or by calling 01142729025.

The Engineering Graduate School will be the first step in a series of planned improvements to buildings and teaching facilities, with the aim of extensively remodelling and refurbishing the faculty´s estate and creating more teaching space for the University.

In addition to new, purpose-built buildings, the University aims to build additional lecture theatres, teaching labs and flexible teaching spaces.
