Lancaster University seek bids for £30M health campus

Lancaster University is inviting companies to bid for the construction of its planned £30M health innovation building.

Planning permission was approved for the 85,000 sq ft campus last month.

Lancaster University describe the campus as “a world-class centre of excellence for innovation and research in health” and will bring together innovators, academics, entrepreneurs, businesses, local government, citizens and health care providers to drive improvements in healthcare.

The Project is being designed by John McAslan & Partners and will rise from two to five storeys, with a length of 120m.

It is envisaged the project will have a significant impact with a £100M boost to the local economy and creating over 2,000 jobs.

Professor Neil Johnson, Dean of Lancaster University’s Faculty of Health and Medicine, said: “This facility is an ambitious and exciting development for the university, for the city and the wider region which will deliver significant economic benefits as well as solutions to help us all live longer and healthier lives.”

Pre-qualification documents are available to download from Lancaster University’s website.

Work is due to commence later in the year and complete in September 2019.
