Bowmer + Kirkland has been appointed by the University of Central Lancashire<\/a> to build a new student centre and civic square brings the focal point of a \u00a3200m masterplan one step closer<\/h2>\n

Designed by Hawkins\\Brown<\/a> following an international RIBA<\/a> competition, the \u00a360m, 7,304 sqm building will provide a new reception area, informal learning spaces and a student well-being support centre.<\/p>\n

The new square will form an iconic gateway to Preston, spanning 8,440 sqm and providing flexible and adaptable spaces for a wide range of community, public, business and student use. Work is scheduled to begin this month with the project due for completion in 2020.<\/p>\n

Improvements to landscaping and the public realm in the Adelphi Quarter<\/a> of the City will also be carried out as part of the wider programme of works.<\/p>\n

Neil Brook, our North West regional director, said: \u201cWe are absolutely delighted to have been chosen by UCLan to build this prestigious and important facility for them. Our entire North West team is looking forward to working with the University and other project partners to deliver this important scheme for the University and the city of Preston.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Ahern, UCLan\u2019s chief operating officer, said: \u201cWe\u2019ve seen the completion of two major projects in the past year \u2013 our multi-faith centre Oasis and the student social spaces, with the Engineering Innovation Centre<\/a> (EIC) nearing completion and preparing to welcome students in September.<\/p>\n

\u201cBowmer + Kirkland has an impressive track record in delivering projects<\/a> in the education sector so we\u2019re looking forward to working together and seeing the focal point of our masterplan, the student centre and new civic square, starting to take shape over the coming months.\u201d<\/p>\n

David Taylor, Pro-Chancellor and chair of the University board, added: \u201cThis is a real milestone for our masterplan. It signals the start of a highly significant project \u2013 not only in terms of what it will mean to our staff and students but also the people who live, work in and visit Preston. The new square will provide a fantastic, civic space for all the community to use, and heralds a new vision for the Adelphi Quarter.\u201d<\/p>\n
