Nottingham building services contractor Skerritt hae won contracts worth almost GBP12 million in the East Midlands over the past year.
Following the successful recent completion of the GBP3 million Biomolecular Sciences building at the University of Nottingham, the company will be back on site to start work on the Jubilee Campus this autumn.
In addition, Skerritt will team up with main contractor Norwest Holst and engineering and architectural consultants, Pick Everard to provide services at the new Leicester Grammar School site in Great Glen.
The GBP3.5 million Jubilee Campus contract will see Skerritt take charge of mechanical and electrical services on behalf of SOL Construction, including air delivery systems, ventilation and heating systems.
The contract includes work on International House, which houses the Centre for English Language Education, the Institute for Work Health and Organisation, the China Policy Unit and the International Office.
The company will also be working on the new amenity building, which will house a fitness centre, residential en-suite accommodation, multi-faith prayer rooms and a private dining area.
In addition, work will start on the new Gateway building, which will include a demonstration and business support area.
Skerritt, based in Union Road, Nottingham, has a turnover of around GBP38 million and employs in the region of 250 people.
It specialises in mechanical, electrical and plumbing building services both locally and nationally.
Recent contracts have included work on the Trinity Square development in Nottingham and on Harts Hotel and the Eastwood Hall Conference Centre.
Contracts with the Ministry of Defence and the Home Office also form an important part of Skerritt's portfolio.
Skerritt MD Stuart Hill said: "This second contract with Nottingham University follows straight on from the Biomolecular Sciences contract and is an indication of the reputation Skerritt is building in the education sector".
This summer, Skerritt will also start work on a new site for Leicester Grammar School.
The school is moving to a greenfield site that will bring the junior and senior schools together.
As well as the education buildings, there will be 75 acres of playing fields, two floodlit all-weather pitches, tennis and netball courts, a 25-metre indoor pool and a pavilion and sports hall.
Skerritt will again provide all mechanical and electrical services, including gas and water services, heating systems, ventilation, a pool air handling unit and sanitary facilities for the Norwest Holst-led project which is worth a total of GBP26 million.
"Work on Leicester Grammar School starts this summer and then we have staggered dates from October onwards for the Nottingham University site," said Stuart Hill.
"I think it shows just how hard Skerritt are pushing forward in the education construction marketplace.".
