Willmott Dixon has been awarded a £20M contract to build the new Anglia Ruskin School of Medicine, on the Chelmsford campus for Anglia Ruskin University.
Featuring specialist teaching space, a lecture theatre and an anatomy suite, the building will provide 33,000 sq ft of space over three stories and will be the first undergraduate School of Medicine in Essex.
Willmott Dixon is working with Rivington Street Studio architects, with plans to complete the school by September 2018.
Chris Tredget, Managing Director of Willmott Dixon in the northern Home Counties, said: “Our experience in the sector will allow us to create a pioneering medical learning facility that will provide training to a new generation of medical staff who can work in healthcare across the county.”
Professor Iain Martin, Vice Chancellor of Anglia Ruskin University, added: “This is a very significant step towards us helping address the urgent need for more doctors and healthcare professionals in the UK, and specifically in Essex.
“We have worked closely with a broad range of partners across the region in planning for the School of Medicine and, whilst there is still much to do, we are now one step closer to our goal.”
The contract was procured through the Scape major works framework and adds to Willmott Dixon’s £300M workload in the higher education sector.
