Â鶹ֱ²¥ receives international recognition for pioneering building project
Â鶹ֱ²¥ University and Leicestershire County Council were given a prestigious global award for a pioneering 100,000 sq ft office project at Â鶹ֱ²¥ Science and Enterprise Park (LUSEP).
The NEC award, which recognises excellence in how building contracts are run across the globe, has been given in previous years to schemes as far-flung as Peru and New Zealand.
The council worked in partnership with Â鶹ֱ²¥ University to create the new building which is leased to tech giant, The Access Group. It is thought to be the largest, single-occupier office deal in the county this century.
Professor Malcolm Cook from the School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering is the LUSEP Lead. He said: “We are absolutely delighted with this award for the latest addition to our growing Science Park. The Armstrong Building occupies a prominent position on our Science and Enterprise Park, exemplifying both the strategic growth in our eco-system which encompasses the University and LUSEP, and the collaboration we enjoy with successful businesses such as Access Group. We look forward to continuing to grow this relationship”.
