The University is starting contractor engagement for the ambitious upgrade programme, which is expected to see around £280m invested across its two London campuses in Islington and Tower Hamlets.

Its long term partner will build and deliver capital projects, lead a total facilities management service and deliver net zero targets through sustainability in all capital projects and TFM services.

The masterplan for the main Holloway Road campus in Islington was drawn up by Design Engine Architects, consulting engineer Buro Happold and cost consultant Gardiner & Theobald.

The campus plan will involve demolishing buildings to create a major courtyard space behind the award-winning Daniel Liebeskind student building on Holloway Road and a complete overhaul of the 12-storey tower next to it.

Work at the Aldgate Campus and Accelerator building will focus more on building refurbishment and upgrades.

The University is seeking expressions of interest and soft market testing ahead of a formal invitation to tender in July.
