McLaren Construction will deliver the huge accommodation campus for workers building the Sizewell C nuclear power station.<\/p>\n

Under a construction management agreement, McLaren will deliver the 2,400-bed campus for site workers, hailed as setting new standards in site accommodation.<\/p>\n

The scheme will see 16 residential blocks of three and four storeys built to house the incoming workforce.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Each building will be laid out in an east-west orientation and contain single-occupancy living units, each with its own ensuite, kitchenette, wardrobe, desk and TV.<\/p>\n

Every floor will house around 40 rooms accessed via a central corridor, with shared services cupboards providing hot water, power and waste distribution. Eight accessible rooms will be included in each three-storey block.<\/p>\n

Key packages for the building job are coming out to tender with foundations work slated to start in the Autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Archaeology, ecology and earthworks are in progress ahead of full build-out.<\/p>\n

Damian Leydon, site delivery director at Sizewell C, said: \u201cIt\u2019s going to house about 2,400 workers \u2013 and it will be much more than just a place where the team sleep after work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re building a home away from home, somewhere the team can rest, recharge and be part of a community. A variety of amenities including a well-equipped gym and sports facilities, on-site restaurant and outdoor gardens, as well as a campus shop.\u201d<\/p>\n

The project forms part of the main campus strategy for Sizewell C and aims to provide high-quality welfare facilities during the peak construction phase of the nuclear plant.<\/p>\n
