Construction giant Kier has won the contract to build the new University of Derby business school.
The new facility will go on land next to the university’s One Friar Gate Square building after Derby City Council approved the plans last summer. The 100,000 sq ft, business school will make up the first element of the university’s city masterplan, which it has drawn up to help connect its various sites.
It will feature innovative teaching and learning spaces, including a virtual reality suite, stock market trading room and creative labs as well as a 233-seat auditorium. An open design will provide air circulation and natural light.
