Galliford extends uni by the book

摘要

Work to revamp and extend the science and engineering library currently under way at the University of Nottingham would have fascinated British mathematical physician George Green, after whom the library is named. The Georgian miller turned academic would doubtless have been enthralled by the curving geometry of the building's new extension, wondering at the applied physics that are enabling contractor Galliford Try to successfully engineer the link between the original 1960s concrete structure and the latest addition to it. Project manager Richard Blythe is overseeing the library's transformation under a £14m deal that will see the site team build the new 7,300 sq m three-storey extension.
