Kier has landed a job to build an accommodation block and workshop at HMP Bullingdon,
Construction News can reveal.
The contractor scooped the design-and-build contract to construct a seventh houseblock at the category B prison, which will increase its capacity by 247 to more than 1,300.
The four-storey block will be built offsite in components using modern methods of construction.
It will also be energy-efficient, supporting the Ministry of Justice’s (MoJ’s) plans to cut the prison estate’s carbon emissions.
As well as the housing block, Kier will design and build a two-storey workshop to support prisoners’ rehabilitation, plus a two-storey multi-faith building.
