From the start, with initial meetings and our input into the choice of architects, to its timely completion, the ULCCO SP team worked closely with us in the school at every step of the project. They are very professional, friendly and clearly take pride in their work. This is reflected in our truly amazing new School of Law and Social Justice Building - as a result of an extensive renovation and extension to an existing building. The team listened to us throughout, so that we ended up with the finished product that was promised and that we had envisaged. Everyone who visits our new SLSJ Building cannot help but be impressed with it. The SLSJ Building now provides a welcoming work space for staff and students alike and we are grateful to the team for bringing our vision to reality.
