University Establishes New Alliance For Construction Projects

Sheffield Hallam University has formed a unique alliance with three appointed partner suppliers to undertake construction projects.

The Hallam Alliance, said to be the first of its kind in the UK for a university building programme, is made up of the university, BDP-Arup (design-led consultancy), BAM (construction) and CBRE (facilities management), reports BDaily.

Designed to support the development of well-designed, well-built, and well-managed buildings, the construction procurement and delivery programme will share its profits and losses with the partnership.

Work is due to start this month on the atrium of the Owen Building, which is part of the first phase of the university’s campus plan, and the initial project for the alliance. Partners will work collaboratively through all stages of design, construction and operation. MACE and Fulcrum are providing scheme and programme management services.

Daniel Ladbury, director of estates and facilities at Sheffield Hallam University, said: “The University has ambitious goals for its campus developments as they support the delivery of our Transforming Lives strategy.

“To support this, the Hallam Alliance approach will not only enable the transformation of our estate, it will also transform how we deliver and manage our estate and our vision to drive industry change whilst driving efficiency and best practice.

“The Hallam Alliance provides a unique opportunity to bring academia, professional services and industry together to solve the current and future challenges currently facing universities, the commercial sector and the construction industry and we look forward to realising a new benchmark for successful developments over the coming years.”
