The contractor has seven projects nominated in the ‘Refurbishment of the Year’ category including the refurbishment of the Centre for Executive Education for Glasgow Caledonian University, the Curran Building for the University of Strathclyde, four projects for the University of Glasgow (Graham Kerr Building, Law Workshop, Mathematics and Statistics Building and Rankine Building) and Marress House Early Years Centre for North Ayrshire Council.
Several of the projects are nominated for multiple awards, with the Curran Building for the University of Strathclyde also featured in the Innovation in Delivering a Sustainable Learning Space category and the Centre for Executive Education for Glasgow Caledonian University shortlisted for the Inspiring Learning Spaces award.
The Oriam Tennis centre, which was constructed for Heriot-Watt University which comprised the construction of a six-court tennis facility, has been shortlisted for the Pupil/Student Experience award.
