Reading time: 1 minute
The University of Edinburgh has opened the bidding for contactors to redevelop parts of its School of Biological Sciences’ facilities on its King’s Buildings Campus.
The ‘Building a New Biology’ project is a plan to grow the university’s research and teaching capacity. It plans to invest £140 million in total over the next five years to develop buildings to create world-leading research cluster for biological sciences.
The foundation of the programme is the complete £90m redevelopment of the Darwin Building, a 10-storey 1960’s tower, to create a physical and metaphorical heart for Biological Sciences.
Designed by architect Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, the re-engineered and re-clad building will provide laboratories for more than 350 researchers, an advanced technology hub and space to co-locate and support future growth in three strategic areas of research: Epigenetics; Infection and Global Health; and Synthetic Biology.
The works include a three-storey extension housing a lecture theatre, seminar spaces meeting rooms and a cafe.
Interested contractors have until 26th May 2016 to return prequalification questionnaires. To access the tender documentation click here and search for project Code 5917 under PQQs Open to All Suppliers.
