The North Eastern Quarter building complex will house the Bragg Centre for advanced materials and imaging and create new homes for the schools of computing, physics and astronomy.

This will involve redeveloping the grade II-listed old mining building and demolishing the estates building and central boiler house. A new five-storey atrium will link the old mining building to the planned new six-storey Bragg laboratory block.

The multi-disciplinary research and teaching facility will provide a new gateway to the Northern part of the University of Leeds campus.

A primary objective of the NEQ project is to provide a development which does not compromise on quality in realising the design requirements and complexities of the scheme.

Interested firms can obtain more information from the procurement portal.

A contract is scheduled to be awarded in November 2017 for the 24-month build programme.
