Curzon campus extension will house 3,000 students, lecture theatre and mock courtrooms

Willmott Dixon has been appointed to deliver a 拢31m extension to Birmingham City University鈥檚 Curzon Campus, which the firm completed last year.

The 9,200m2 Curzon B development will expand the universtity鈥檚 city-centre campus and include accommodation for 3,000 students, a lecture theatre and mock law courts.

Willmott Dixon said the latest appointment meant the firm would have worked on nearly 拢150m of projects for the university since 2011.

Peter Owen, managing director of its Midlands business said the project would make Birmingham the 鈥渦niversity capital of England鈥�.

Curzon B was designed by Associated Architects and is due for completion in time for the start of the 2017 academic year.
