Wakemans digs into college development
Birmingham-based property consultant Wakemans has started work on a £3.2m extension to North East Worcestershire College. Architect D5, which is also based in Birmingham, has created the design for the building.
Wakemans is acting as employer’s agent, quantity surveyor and CDM co-ordinator on the scheme in Bromsgrove, which comprises an extension to the Harley-Davidson centre and much of the college’s frontal elevation. It will provide new automotive workshops and media and music studios plus a new reception area.
Birmingham-based architect D5, which is responsible for the design of both the college’s Redditch and Bromsgrove campuses, has produced the design for the new building and Kier Moss has been appointed as contractor.
Construction has started on site and Wakemans said the scheme is scheduled for completion in August.
College principal John Callaghan said: “Whilst our partnerships with Harley-Davidson and with Bromsgrove District Council through Artrix have already helped create possibly some of the best appointed facilities in the country, this latest investment will help us reinforce the fact that we offer some of the best provision in the region for these subjects.”
