A Pudsey company has been selected to deliver a comprehensive mechanical, electrical and public health design and build package for the new £14 million Pudsey Sixth Form College.
Scheduled to open at the start of the 2025/26 academic year, the new building will cater for 600 higher education students studying A-Levels, vocational courses, and GCSEs. It will provide much-needed sixth form space for the increasing number of 16 to 18-year-olds in Leeds.
G&H’s 20-strong team, including six apprentices, will commence work on the college off Kent Road in February. They will incorporate energy-saving features such as air-source heat pumps and photovoltaic panels to ensure the building achieves top marks in its BREEAM sustainability compliance rating and its Building Regulations UK Part L certificate.
In addition, G&H will provide heating, ventilation, air conditioning, public services, commercial kitchen services and building management systems to provide a comfortable environment for the students to thrive.
Mohammad Choudhary, project engineer, G&H said: “We have extensive experience in the education sector, so the Luminate Education Group projects align perfectly with our expertise.
“It will be a privilege to work alongside Caddick Construction to deliver the Pudsey Sixth Form College, providing a sustainable building that offers a safe and comfortable environment for young people from Leeds and the surrounding areas to prosper.”
Steve Ford, managing director for Caddick Construction Yorkshire and North East, comments: “Delivering new school places – whether primary, secondary or further education – requires efficiency and value for money, both of which are made possible through a high-quality and local supply chain.
“Caddick holds a strong 40-year legacy in Yorkshire, and during this time we’ve surrounded ourselves with a dedicated and highly skilled network of regional subcontractors. We’re pleased to have G&H on board to support the delivery of the new Pudsey College for our valued client, Luminate Education Group.”
