Triton Construction secures £4.5m contract delivering extension to Notre Dame Sixth Form College

Triton Construction has secured a £4.5m contract to deliver a new extension building and gateway to Notre Dame Catholic Sixth Form College in Leeds.

The design and build contract includes the demolition of an existing building, formerly part of the university chaplaincy, to make way for a new 21,500 sq ft, four storey building. Triton is delivering a full turnkey solution to include full internal fit out and external access works.

Notre Dame Catholic Sixth Form College is one of the highest performing sixth form colleges in West Yorkshire. Located in Leeds City Centre and close to the University of Leeds, Notre Dame is an ‘outstanding’ rated college offering a wide range of A-Levels, BTEC and T Level qualifications for school leavers.

Principal Justine Barlow said: “We are pleased to be working with Triton Construction as part of the team to deliver this new building that will enable Notre Dame to provide enhanced facilities and opportunities, as well as accommodation our new T Level courses, for our young people across the city.”

Triton is currently progressing demolition works and site preparation to enable construction of the new building during the Summer term break. It will build down to create a deep basement level that will become a new entrance reception and study area access from St Mark’s Avenue. An additional three storeys will provide 14 new digital classrooms with supporting facilities.

Paul Clarkson, managing director at Triton Construction, said, “We are delighted to secure this contract as an addition to our extensive portfolio of work in the education sector. The project is complex due to the very tight site conditions with a one-way road access, local landscape conservation, as well as the live environment conditions.

Triton’s portfolio also includes a new library and further refurbishments for Leeds College of Music, a £2.3m High Needs Vocational Centre for Shipley College, a £3.5m science block and state of the art learning link for Bradford Grammar School and a £4m transformation of a derelict building to house Norfolk Park Special School in Sheffield.
