Other recent high profile contract awards include a �25.6 million project to build the new Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury, the iconic �13.7 million Canada Water library building in Southwark and the latest project secured by the company's new Kent office, a �566,000 environmental study and community resource centre in Lewes, East Sussex.
