The University of the West of England has appointed BAM to deliver a £16million Enterprise Zone.

The scheme is a refurbishment and remodelling of an existing 4250m2 building including an internal fit-out and M&E upgrades and installations.

The new building will provide incubation space for start-up businesses and contain the Bristol Robotics Laboratory.

It was procured against competition through the Construction Framework for the South West. Parsons Brinckerhoff is the architect.
”We are delighted to have secured the new enterprise zone project with the University of the West of England. We look forward to building on existing relationships with the University having successfully delivered their new students union building earlier in the year.  The Enterprise Zone will be a great place to do business for new firms which will create jobs and be boost to the local economy”
