Overview
The University of Wolverhampton has purchased the iconic old Springfield Brewery site in the centre of Wolverhampton, in order to develop it in to a smart specialisation hub for Construction and the Built Environment. This will act as a catalyst for the regeneration of the local area, and the Black Country, commencing with the opening of the West Midlands Construction UTC in November 2016, followed by the Elite Centre for Manufacturing Skills in June 2017.
The University requires a design and build contractor to deliver the move of the School of Architecture and Built Environment (SOABE) to the site in 2019. The SOABE development itself will have a gross internal area of circa 8250m2, which comprises of both refurbishment of the existing building and a new build element (with associated car parking for 45 cars).
A BREEAM rating of ‘Very Good’ has been targeted that will take into account the new build, refurbishment and fit out elements. One of the main aspirations from the University of Wolverhampton is that this building will be iconic but as efficient as possible with regards to the usage of space and the integration of the new and old aspects of the site.
