ISG has been appointed on a £50 million project scheme to create a striking new home for the Faculty of Business and Law at UWE Bristol.

The landmark building is a key element of the University’s development masterplan at Frenchay Campus, occupying a strategic site in the central heart zone, adjacent to the currently under construction student union and plaza facilities.

Enabling the relocation and significant expansion of facilities available to students on Business and Law courses at UWE Bristol, the new five-storey, 185,000 sq ft building includes collaborative space to further strengthen relationships between the university and wider business community.

The scheme also incorporates a Soft Landings approach from the outset, which sees the entire project team working closely with UWE Bristol to maximise efficiencies and enhance performance during the design, construction, commissioning and final occupation phases, so that predicted performance and expectations are fully met in the completed building.

UWE Bristol is set to use the construction of the Faculty of Business and Law as a direct learning resource, showcasing advanced building methodologies for students on its built environment courses.

Rob Martin, ISG’s Western regional managing director, said: “The project team will foster strong links with the student community, with a wealth of training and work experience opportunities for UWE Bristol students.

“The Faculty of Business and Law is a true legacy project, proving an outstanding addition to the Frenchay Campus and an invaluable learning resource for the university.”
