Published 11/23/2016

The University of Nottingham broke ground on the 97,000-sf Advanced Manufacturing Building in November of 2016 in the United Kingdom. G.F. Tomlinson was awarded the £16 million construction contract for the project, which will be built on a former brownfield site on the Jubilee Campus. Designed by Bond Bryan, the facility will provide the Faculty of Engineering with research labs and offices, teaching spaces, workshops, and an area for large-scale aerospace demonstrator components. Supporting innovation in automation, robotics, and advanced composite materials, the building will house a nanoscale production suite, a cleanroom for the development of 3D-printed pharmaceutical devices, and the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in Manufacturing Technology. The project team includes engineering consultant Arup, cost consultant Currie and Brown, and project manager Turner and Townsend. Completion is expected in spring of 2018.
