KING’S COLLEGE
Complete restorationin the heart of London
In Great Britain, the 1990s witnessed many changes. Cultural, political… and economic. While public funds are becoming scarce, British institutions are studying new methods of financing and are turning to public-private partnerships (PFI). It is on this contractual model that Bouygues UK won its first significant contract in Great Britain with the design-build-maintenance of King’s College. The London university center opened its doors in 1999, after 20 months of construction work which would have seen its original buildings completely restored and its capacity increased by 20,000 m².
