‘Very Good’ rating for the refurbishment of the grade II listed building. Working proactively and through
collaboration between all parties, including the NTU construction services team, the first phase of the scheme was completed in July 2018. The BSRIA Soft Landings procedure was followed to ensure the handover to the Events team, who organised the graduations, was smooth. The second phase of the project,
replacing the extension at the rear of the building with a sympathetic, contemporary music centre, will provide dance and music studios as well as a dining facility and a green living wall, and will link to the main building via a glass vestibule. Works are scheduled to be completed in summer 2019 and are on target to achieve BREEAM ‘Excellent’ rating. Director of YMD Boon Ltd, Sharareh
Setayesh said: “We are delighted to see this stunning development coming to life now that phase one has reached completion. These modern facilities can now start to be enjoyed by both students and staff for many years to come. We are very proud to be a part of delivering the University’s vision on behalf of our client, Gleeds.” Steve Denton, Chief Operating Officer
at Nottingham Trent University, said: “The refurbishment has been sensitively undertaken with careful consideration of preserving and restoring key features of this wonderful building. It’s a very special venue, and our students are looking forward to marking their graduation in such an exceptional environment. We are immensely proud of what has been achieved so far.” Director at Gleeds, Tom Shipman said:
“We have been involved with this project since the initial acquisition back in early 2016; led by our Adam Nickerson it is a huge achievement on a tricky and complex building to finally see the design and vision coming to life for what will be a development to be enjoyed by students for many years to come. The refurbishment uncovered many issues which the whole team worked seamlessly together to mitigate delay and ensure delivery to programme. It has been an excellent project for us to be involved with on behalf of NTU.”
