New images show major construction progress on Blackpool's £65m Multiversity

The project, being delivered by Morgan Sindall, was started earlier this year.

Blackpool’s £65m Multiversity is starting to take shape with new photos showing huge steel frames being erected high above the town centre.

The latest photographs show that several levels of structural steelwork are now in place, alongside large concrete cores which will form part of the building's main structure.

Multiple cranes are being used to lift steel sections into position and utility works are being carried out around the site, including on Cookson Street where temporary traffic lights are in place.

The Multiversity will provide around 115,000 sq ft of education space and is expected to accommodate around 3,000 students, apprentices and staff when it opens in September 2028.

It is being completed at an estimated cost of £65 million and comes as part of Blackpool Council’s wider Talbot Gateway regeneration scheme.
