Laing wins £30m of work in the Midlands


John Laing Construction has been appointed preferred contractor for two major MEPC projects in the Midlands.

The two schemes have a total construction value of over £30 million and are situated in Colmore Row, Birmingham and the Eagle Shopping Centre in Derby. Both are expected to be on site by the end of the year.

The Birmingham scheme involves the demolition of an existing building at 125 Colmore Row.

Current occupiers, Lloyds TSB, will move temporarily and return in mid-2000 to the new 12,880m2 headquarters.

The Eagle Shopping Centre scheme consists of major refurbishment to the existing centre to provide improved daylight and lighting, with new floor, wall and sofit finishes.

A new Sainsbury store will be created by combining existing retail units and extending into the main centre. The existing Sainsbury store will be stripped out and divided up to create new shop units.
