Bradford-based ISG Totty Building has secured a £1.5 million design and build project to construct facilities for Sheffield Hallam University.

Totty will construct a purpose-built resource centre which it says has had been sympathetically designed to complement the local built environment, with Ashlar stone and timber cladding to its facade and a green sedum roof.

The project is due to commence on Monday, July 16, with completion scheduled for mid-May 2008.

Philip Ryder, managing director of ISG Totty Building, said: "By understanding the university's requirements and expectations from the very outset, we were able to develop a creative solution that delivers first rate teaching facilities within an aesthetically pleasing design."
