This will increase to its full capacity of 880 students by September 2021.The latest win reinforces Kier’s position in the North of England’s education sector, where it has recently delivered a £7.3m sixth form centre as part of the Kirklees College’s new learning quarter, and an extension to Liverpool City College.
