Challenge
Durham University sought to relocate its Business School to a new facility that would provide modern teaching, office, and support services across five floors. The challenge was to transform an existing structure into a dynamic academic environment that met the evolving needs of students and faculty while adhering to high sustainability standards.
Solution
To achieve this, the University engaged G&T to provide Project Management, Cost Management, and Contract Administration services. The project involved significant remodelling and a comprehensive fit-out to create a state-of-the-art academic hub. A key feature was the development of a tiered, Harvard-style lecture theatre, complemented by advanced audio-visual installations designed to enhance the learning experience.
Outcome
The completed Durham University Business School now offers a modern, dynamic environment that supports innovative teaching methods and collaborative learning. The project achieved a SKA Gold rating, reflecting its high standard of sustainability. G&T's comprehensive management services were instrumental in delivering a facility that aligns with the University's commitment to excellence in business education.
