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.

"I think it shows just how hard Skerritt are pushing forward in the education construction marketplace.".
