GMI Construction Group has reached the topping out stage in its £27 million development of Mabgate Campus in Leeds, a key milestone in transforming the site into a modern educational facility.
Commissioned by Luminate Education Group, the project will deliver 70,000 sq ft of new learning space, including a five-storey building for University Centre Leeds, upgraded facilities for Leeds City College’s adult learning provision, and an atrium cafeteria linking the new structure to an existing warehouse conversion. The campus will also see the refurbishment of Studio 24, an arts and events space in a historic industrial building.
The development, funded through the Department for Education’s capital transformation programme, aims to replace outdated buildings and improve access to education and training. GMI Construction began work last year, including partially demolishing existing structures to clear space for the expansion.
