Willmott Dixon’s £60m contract is for a new teaching block with faculty offices, alongside an engineering workshop, together providing new home for the Faculty of Technology, Design & Environment.
The buildings are designed by ADP Architecture.
Completion is expected by September 2024, in time for the new academic year.
Jerry Woods, director of estates and campus services at Oxford Brookes University, said: "We are pleased Willmott Dixon has commenced work on two inspirational buildings for our Headington Campus. The new state-of-the-art labs, workshops, and teaching and social learning spaces will be transformational for our Faculty of Technology, Design & Environment.”
