Contractor I&G will today (3 June) start building a new centre for motor neurone disease (MND) named after rugby league icon Rob Burrow CBE, one day after his death.

Burrow died on Sunday (2 June) aged 41 after a four-and-a-half-year battle against the progressive disease. Since his diagnosis, the former Leeds Rhinos player worked tirelessly to raise awareness about MND.

The Rob Burrow Centre for MND, a first-of-its-kind facility in the UK, will be constructed using modern methods of construction. These include offsite-manufactured structurally insulated panels, which I&G said will contribute to a more efficient and environmentally friendly build without impacting quality standards.
