Manchester Engineering Campus Development (MECD)
Balfour Beatty collaborates with educational bodies and partners to create exceptional environments that inspire learning.
At the heart of our approach is collaboration with stakeholders to create exceptional learning environments. We leverage our expertise across the entire infrastructure lifecycle, from investment and development to design, construction and ongoing operations to deliver educational facilities that inspire and empower students.
With our extensive experience in constructing, refurbishing and expanding various educational buildings including schools, universities, and campuses, we strive to build facilities that communities can take pride in.
Not only do our award-winning academic buildings leave a positive impact on the community, but they also play a crucial role in attracting prospective students from both the UK and overseas.
Our recent portfolio of higher education buildings includes:
- The Manchester Engineering Campus Development (MECD), a £300m project at the University of Manchester to construct facilities for four engineering schools and two research institutes
- The University of Strathclyde’s £60 million learning and teaching facility
- The Aberdeen Academy - a new teaching and sports facility.
- 120 educational projects across the US for the K-12 and university/college environments.
