Contracts signed for major Liverpool sports complex

Posted on by in Weekly News

Morgan Sindall Construction has signed a contract to deliver Liverpool John Moores University’s (LJMU) landmark new development on Copperas Hill.

The project will transform a disused site into a state-of-the-art new Sports Building, a five-storey Student Life Building and public open spaces.

Morgan Sindall has already carried out initial enabling works on the site, with the main construction work set to commence immediately.

Overall, the project will deliver a five-storey Student Life Building, providing a range of student services, including advice and wellbeing services, careers advice, international exchanges, an area for individual and group study, and the Students’ Union (JMSU) and general teaching spaces.

The work also includes a two-storey building, which will include facilities such as an eight-court sports hall, two multi-purpose halls and a state-of-the-art gym.

LJMU’s Interim Vice-Chancellor and Chief Executive Mark Power said: “It’s fantastic to see this exciting new development moving ahead.

“The new Sports Building and Student Life Building will be superb additions to our facilities here at LJMU and offer our students the very best environment for their studies, sporting activities and the wide range of key support services we provide.

“The work will drive forward the regeneration of this key gateway site and completely transform the public realm and open spaces. This commitment to our community, the city and the wider city region reflects our vision of LJMU as a pioneering modern civic university.”

Morgan Sindall Construction Managing Director for the North West Barry Roberts said: “It’s a huge honour for us to deliver the Copperas Hill development on behalf of LJMU. When complete, the Student Life and Sports Buildings will provide exceptional facilities to students while also creating new public realm that will transform a key gateway to the city centre.

Construction work is scheduled for completion in 2020
