First project go-ahead at £1bn Liverpool Paddington Village

Proposals to build a 13 storey building for Liverpool International College at the City’s Paddington Village site have got the planning green light.

Work on the building could start as early as May, kick-starting the £1bn development site, which forms part of Liverpool’s new Knowledge Quarter.

The live-learn facility, which is out to tender, will be operated through a partnership between Kaplan international and the University of Liverpool.

Bowmer & Kirkland and Morgan Sindall are understood to be among the firms biding for the project, which will consist of 45,000 sq ft teaching and learning space and 260 bedrooms.

Paddington Village would see a cluster of towers and buildings erected on a site behind the Royal Liverpool Hospital, including the old Archbishop Blanch School land.

Earlier this month Liverpool City Council signed up Morgan Sindall to deliver two projects on the central plot. 

The first phase of work, worth around £12m, and due to start on site in summer 2017, will involve the installation of infrastructure and formation of development plots to make them market-ready. 

The second phase will see Morgan Sindall design and build a new £35m Northern Centre of Excellence for the Royal College of Physicians.
