Scheme will complete in 2023
ISG has won the first phase of a 拢300m scheme to build a neurology centre in the middle of London for UCL.
好色先生TV understands the value of deal is 拢110m 鈥 double the amount of the highest-value contract the firm would normally pick up.
ISG chief executive Paul Cossell said: 鈥淲e have the capability to do larger scale projects for selected clients.鈥
The scheme will be built on Gray鈥檚 Inn Road at the site of the Eastman Dental Hospital at the King鈥檚 Cross end of the road.
It will also serve as a hub for the UK Dementia Research Institute and will bring together more than 500 researchers into one site to look into treatments for neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer鈥檚, Parkinson鈥檚, Huntington鈥檚 and vascular dementia.
Last autumn, ISG, which yesterday revealed an improved set of annual results for 2018, was chosen to relocate UCL鈥檚 dentistry school to a new site in Fitzrovia ahead of work beginning on the neurology centre early next year.
Completion of the centre is scheduled for 2023 with UCL moving in the following year.
The project team is being led by Arcadis and includes architect Hawkins\Brown while Hoare Lea is M&E engineer with Ramboll appointed to carry out civil and structural engineering.
The scheme is part of a decade-long initiative called Transforming UCL which will see the university spend 拢1.25bn upgrading its estate which in February saw a 拢67m student centre built by Mace open its doors in Bloomsbury.
