The University will undertake a range of building works during the coming months to improve the staff and student experience. Projects will include new builds and refurbishment of existing spaces.
All of the new teaching and learning spaces will incorporate the lessons learned from recent Learning Landscapes projects, facilitating collaboration in line with Student as Producer.
All of the major projects will be featured in more detail on this website.

I heard from a few people who stayed in courts 1-5 last year that they sucked compared to the others.
Have they now been fully refurbished for the year 14/15 students?
Hi Bethany – thanks for getting in touch. Yes – Courts 1-5 have been fully refurbished this summer.
