The Contract is for the provision of DLD Teaching and Student Centre Works to Ulster University. The project will involve the construction of a new Teaching and Student Centre (TSC) block at Ulster University’s campus in Derry-Londonderry (DLD) adjacent to the Library at Northland Road BT48 7JL.

The building’s GIA is anticipated to be circa 5200m2 and the TSC is intended to create a three-dimensional landscape, with green spaces, terraces and courtyards integrated into the site.
