Tilbury Douglas has been appointed, via the PAGABO Framework, to lead the construction of the Leeds Beckett University Law School project
The Leeds Beckett University Law School project is part of a multi-million-pound investment by the University to improve and expand its Law School facilities.
The new building, to be built west of Queen Square House, will deliver enhanced dedicated teaching, research, and specialist facilities for students and staff and will establish an academic ‘home’ for Leeds Law School.
Two new lifts and a feature staircase will provide access to the reception area, Harvard-style lecture theatre, reading room, open access learning area, courtroom, and teaching spaces, as well as additional teaching rooms and specialist facilities on the upper floors of the building.
Tilbury Douglas is a highly experienced contractor within education environments
John Gittins, regional managing director at Tilbury Douglas, said: “As a highly experienced contractor within education environments, we are looking forward to working in collaboration with the University to ensure this project is delivered to a high standard.
“The new facility will play a key role in providing a hub for Leeds Law School for many years to come.”
The development will strengthen Leeds’ position as the biggest legal hub
Professor Deveral Capps, dean of Leeds Law School at Leeds Beckett University, said: “We are excited to be working alongside Tilbury Douglas to help bring our new Leeds Law School building to life.
“The development will further showcase the School as a high-quality legal educator in the region, and help strengthen Leeds’ position as the biggest legal hub in the country outside of London.”
