Bouygues UK has been awarded a \u00a3119m contract to build two new campuses in the Welsh town of Barry.<\/p>\n

Work on the Barry Waterfront Campus (BWC) and the Advanced Technology Centre (ATC) will begin in June with a completion date of summer 2027.<\/p>\n

The educational facilities, developed by the Welsh Education Partnership Company, will together provide places for 3,000 students.<\/p>\n

Based at Cardiff Airport, the 13,000 square metre ATC will accommodate almost 2,000 learners and is close to the International Centre for Aerospace Training.<\/p>\n

In addition to flexible classrooms and workshops, the building will also include a Higher Education Business Centre, an advanced composites manufacturing facility, state of the art robotics and a mechatronics labs.<\/p>\n

The second college, the 6,000 square metre BWC, will be a state-of-the-art further education facility for 900 students.<\/p>\n

The BWC is the latest development to be built on the brownfield site in the heart of Barry\u2019s Waterfront Innovation Quarter where regeneration initiatives began in 2010.<\/p>\n

The new campuses, which will be open and operational for students in 2027, are being delivered through a single contract under the Mutual Investment Model (MIM) programme.<\/p>\n

It is the largest project being delivered through the MIM programme.<\/p>\n

Leading the project for Bouygues UK<\/a>, is project director Peter Sharpe, who has led Zone 1 of the multi-million-pound leisure, business and community health facility at Pentre Awel in Llanelli for Carmarthenshire Council.<\/p>\n

The new campuses will be maintained and operated for 25 years by Robertson FM, once construction works are completed.<\/p>\n

Welsh minister for further and higher education, Vikki Howells said: \u201cThe Barry Waterfront campus and the Advanced Technology Centre will make a real difference to the Vale community.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
