De Montfort University Campus

Wednesday August 21st 2013

MDA has been appointed by De Montfort University (DMU) to work on a new £32m landmark building at its Leicester City Centre Campus. The commission will be led by Rob McGuinn, Director and Will Eccles, Associate, both based in our Leicester office.

The new Fletcher Complex will be a new base for the Faculty of Art, Design and Humanities. The plans will add extra break-out areas for students, utilise the University’s proximity to the River Soar, and improve the existing Fletcher Tower. The proposals form a phase in DMU’s long-term plan, to re-connect the city centre to the waterfront creating a series of linked public open spaces through the De Montfort campus.

Through an extensive OJEU process, DMU has commissioned MDA to provide cost consultancy services; CPMG architects to provide architectural services; MACE to provide project management; Pick Everard to provide M&E engineering services; and Curtins Consulting to provide structural engineering services.

MDA has worked extensively with DMU since 1993 and we are extremely pleased to have won this commission in the face of very stiff competition.
