CNC Training Centre, Cumbria

Construction of a new £39m training facility for the Civil Nuclear Constabulary began on 16 May 2016 on a 14 acre site, close to Sellafield, in West Cumbria. Construction and fit out are due to be completed in December 2017, with the facility becoming operational by January 2018. The new training facility will help deliver CNC’s operational requirements to support its role in protecting civil nuclear sites and nuclear materials in England, Scotland and Wales. The centre will consist of a four-storey hub with classrooms, operational stores and offices, alongside communal use areas. Two connected buildings will house live firing training arenas. SkySteel Structures Ltd was honoured to be selected to erect the structural steelwork.
