Plans
According to the university, £186.5 million has been invested into its campus and surroundings in recent years, with the aim of " students the most inspiring working environments and access to industry standard, state-of-the-art facilities". These developments include;
- Art and Design Buildings:
- Plans are in progress for a brand new dedicated Art and Design building on the edge of the River Soar.
- Health Centre:
- The university has sold land on Grasmere Street to allow space for a brand new Health Centre. This is still in the planning stage but will provide a full health care service for both students of the university and the local community.
- Public Squares:
- The current buildings of the Gateway site are to be demolished, creating a new public square and improving the area. This will link with other public squares across the campus, and new landscaping, lighting, street furniture and public art structures will create a 'one campus' feel and a vibrant and pleasant place to study.
