University of Liverpool Management School
Sutcliffe provided Civil and Structural Engineering services for the £7.5M Management School Extension at the University of Liverpool. The project involved increasing the learning capacity by 450 places and equipping all rooms with advanced Information Technology to support enhanced educational opportunities.
Our role included designing and detailing an insitu reinforced concrete frame for the new structure, which featured a large open plan lecture theatre. The design of the link bridge connecting the existing building to the new extension utilised steelwork to achieve a slender and modern aesthetic.

Project challenges
To address site-specific challenges, we accurately modelled the extent of historic basements, allowing us to design a piled foundation solution that mitigated potential delays. Sutcliffe worked collaboratively with the Management School, architects, and the University’s Senior Project Manager to ensure the successful integration of the new extension with existing facilities.
