Morgan Ashurst has been awarded the first two contracts, worth £71 million, in Hull City Council’s Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme.
It comes after the Hull Esteem Consortium - comprising Morgan Sindall Investments, Robertson Capital Projects and the Sewell Group - took just four months to reach financial close on the £400m, 25-year programme to redevelop 17 schools under Hull’s BSF.
The initial four-year construction programme is expected to be worth £200m to Morgan Ashurst, which has now started construction of the first two new schemes, worth a total of £71m.
These comprise a £38m scheme to build Winifred Holtby and Tweendykes – a new secondary and special educational needs school in Midmere Avenue, Hull; and a £32.8m scheme to build Archbishop Sentamu Academy – a new academy in Preston Road, Hull.
