Construction firm Morgan Sindall has won an £18 million contract to deliver a new Islamic faith school in Birmingham.
The company, which is headquartered in Rugby, will build the Eden Girls Leadership Academy in Small Heath.
The city council school will cover 48,000 sq ft and have capacity for 600 secondary and sixth form pupils.
The new campus will comprise 15 modern, general teaching classrooms, three ICT-rich classrooms, five science laboratories and one science preparatory room, spread over three storeys.
Other facilities include a sports hall, grass pitch, library and a learning resource centre.
The Muslim-faith based school will also have a reflection hall for prayer and an ablutions room.
Eden Girls Leadership Academy is the company's fifth education contract won through the Constructing West Midlands framework this year.
Work is set to be completed in spring 2021.
Dave Kelly, Constructing West Midlands framework manager at Morgan Sindall Construction, said: "Delivering the number of school places the West Midlands requires to keep pace with population growth is an ongoing challenge for local authorities.
"Efficient procurement is key to success.
"Working through the framework over the past eight years, we've designed and built a range of schools, many on challenging sites, to help meet this demand.
"With more girls than ever getting involved in STEM, we are particularly proud to help deliver the Eden Girls Leadership Academy's impressive laboratories and technical facilities."
