Nottinghamshire company, Herbert Baggaley Construction is working on a £2m contract for Loughborough University to refurbish Village Court on the University's campus.

Baggaley is carrying out alterations and refurbishments to modernise 14 existing student accommodation blocks. New kitchens, showers and lounge facilities are being created as well as a basic refurbishment of over 300 bedrooms.

The project is particularly challenging because of the need to ensure continued access through the site and to neighbouring accommodation blocks for staff and students. Works are being phased to maintain a safe working environment at all times, and deliveries are being carefully scheduled due to a lack of storage space.

To ensure that some of the new accommodation was available for the current academic year, a very tight schedule was adhered to and which continues to be adhered to, ensuring the phased completion of the remaining accommodation in early 2012.

Managing director of Herbert Baggaley Construction, Ian Baggaley, said, "We are proud to have been awarded another contract from Loughborough University. Due to the success of the university and this year's intake of students, we have liaised very closely with both the client, construction team, and the head of accommodation to ensure rooms were ready for early occupation."
