Delivering a state-of-the-art facility to foster education, innovation, and business growth. The Quad forms a central part of the wider Station Quarter regeneration scheme.
Telford & Wrekin Council embarked on an ambitious regeneration project known as ‘Station Quarter’, aiming to transform the town's northern sector into a vibrant hub for education, commerce, and urban living. As part of this initiative, The Quad development is designed to address local inequalities in education and drive economic growth by equipping the local workforce with essential digital and maths skills. Gleeds was selected to provide multi-disciplinary services to ensure the successful delivery of this £17 million project, which reached practical completion in August 2024 and became operational the following month.
The Quad encompasses a 4,500 square metre, five-storey building, incorporating spaces for education, training, and enterprise. Anchored by tenants such as Telford College, Harper Adams University, and European Innovation, The Quad is set to become a thriving centre for digital and technical skills development that aligns with local business needs. The building’s facilities are designed to offer vital resources to the community, promoting new local enterprises while addressing inequality in access to education.
The project is part of ‘Station Quarter Phase 1’, a broader £80 million regeneration initiative, which includes large-scale remediation, residential developments, and extensive public realm improvements. The overarching goal is to create a vibrant town centre, focusing on connectivity, sustainable living, and long-term economic growth.
