United Kingdom — The University of Salford has selected Kier to build a new £40.7 million health building on its campus.
The 5,550-square-metre facility will host several of the university’s courses, including podiatry, prosthetics, and orthotics, and will explore the possibility of offering mother and child health sessions, weight management clinics, and well-being support services.
Located on the A6 road next to the Salford Crescent train station, the all-electric building will be constructed to meet Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology (BREEAM) Excellent and WELL Gold building standards.
Modern construction methods will be employed, including a prefabricated concrete facade system.
The clinical spaces will adhere to the latest health building guidance, ensuring operational standards and adaptability.
Kier’s in-house utility team will support the site’s enabling works, managing extensive underground services and drainage diversions.
The project is part of the university’s campus connectivity plan and aligns with Salford City Council’s Crescent Salford development scheme.
Construction is underway and slated for completion in late 2026.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with the University of Salford on this significant project,” said Sarah Morton, Regional Director for Kier Construction North & Scotland.
“With our extensive experience in the education, healthcare, and science and technology sectors, we are eager to leverage our expertise to create a cutting-edge facility that will serve the needs of students, staff, and the wider community for many years to come.”
