"Throughout the project the ULCCO SP team has fully engaged with the School, being honest, open and responsive from the outset. This has contributed to the success of the project and helped ensure that the extension and refurbishment opened on time, ready to welcome students for the academic year in September 2016. The excellent management of the site should be used as an exemplar for other buildings on campus, as the project team have worked closely with the School to ensure its vision and aim to build a high quality space that will improve the student experience in a modern teaching environment has been successfully achieved.
