Miller Construction has won a high-profile £54m deal for the University of Edinburgh.

The firm has held off challenges from Balfour Beatty, Laing O'Rourke and BAM Construction and will build the Scottish Centre for Regenerative Medicine at the university's BioQuarter site in Little France.

The three-storey 8,900m² building is due for completion in 100 weeks. It will be the first facility on the site, which is planned to provide a total of 130,000m² of biomedical and research facilities over the coming years under a £600m-plus total investment.
