Spread over seven floors, the iconic building will become a landmark in the town centre incorporating 7,400 sq metres of space, connecting to the rest of the University鈥檚 Luton campus via a bridge link.

鈥淭he appointment of Willmott Dixon to build our new library is great news,鈥� said the University鈥檚 Vice Chancellor, Bill Rammell.

鈥淭his move further underlines our ambitions for current and future generations of students at Bedfordshire. The fantastic new facility will further enhance the students鈥� learning experience, offering the latest digital learning technologies, an expanded space for print resources and flexible study space for individual and group study, which will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

鈥淭his investment also underlines the University鈥檚 commitment to developing first-class teaching and learning facilities in Luton. Only last month we launched a new dedicated Art and Design building in Guildford Street. We also opened a CSI crime lab facility on Cumberland Street in the town, for forensic science students to gain valuable practical experience as part of their studies.鈥�

Chris Tredget, Managing Director at Willmott Dixon, added: 鈥淲e are delighted to be involved and look forward to delivering this superb new library for the 亚色视频. As a local company, with an office in nearby Hitchin, Herts, and staff living across Bedfordshire, we are naturally very proud to be responsible for an important addition to our community. We will also buy local construction materials whenever possible to support jobs and companies in the local area.鈥�

The latest development forms part of the University鈥檚 plans to invest some 拢90million at Luton campus over the next five years and follows new campus developments at Luton over recent years.

These include the new 拢34m Campus Centre, a 拢20m Postgraduate and Continuing Professional Development Centre and the Fitzroy Court Student Village, on Vicarage Street, next to the Luton campus.

Based in Hitchin, Willmott Dixon鈥檚 Northern Homes Counties team will commence building works this month, with the library鈥檚 completion expected in summer 2015.
