McLaughlin & Harvey has been chosen as the preferred construction partner by City of Wolverhampton Council for the new City Learning Quarter scheme in the UK.

The company has been awarded a pre-construction contract and will now provide detailed designs and undertake minor preparatory works ahead of commencement of construction next spring.

The £50m City Learning Quarter scheme has been developed by the council in partnership with City of Wolverhampton College.

City of Wolverhampton Council leader Ian Brookfield said: “The appointment of our preferred construction partner now brings us within touching distance of being able to start works on this game-changing scheme – 2023 is going to be a huge year for the City Learning Quarter.

“The new facilities will provide a vital facelift as we re-imagine our city centre, which is benefiting from £1 billion of investment overall.”

The 10,000m2 City Learning Quarter will be situated around the Old Hall Street and St. George’s Parade area of the city centre.
