Morgan Sindall Construction is to continue its work with Bradford College thanks to its appointment as contractor for the purpose-built Future Technologies Centre.
Having previously undertaken phase one of the project, which saw the demolition of a derelict mill on Thornton Road in the city, Morgan Sindall will now undertake phase two. This phase will see the construction of a state-of-the-art four-storey building, which will house modern automotive, digital and engineering training at Bradford College.
The facility will offer students skills in new technologies, such as modern automotive and digital engineering, electric/hybrid vehicles and advanced manufacturing. As such, the Centre will be vital in supporting the growth of technology and low-carbon skills capability within West Yorkshire.
Once completed in 2026, the Bradford College Automotive and Digital Engineering Department will relocate from Bowling Back Lane to the new premises. As many as 650 students could enrol at the Centre.
Ben Hall, Area Director for Morgan Sindall Construction’s Yorkshire business, said: “We’re thrilled to be able to continue our relationship with Bradford College by delivering what will be a game changing new facility for Bradford.
“As part of our delivery of this project we look forward to undertaking social value initiatives that benefit the people of Bradford, ensuring this new facility is having a positive impact on the city way ahead of opening.”
