Leeds University £96m investment in Engineering & Physical Sciences

The University has given the seal of approval to the proposed plans to create an international Centre for Engineering and Physical Sciences on the north eastern part of campus.

The £96m project was approved by the Council, the University's governing body, earlier this month.

It is set to position the University as a world leading research platform and is the largest, single-project investment ever to have been made on campus.

It is proposed that the new Centre will bring together schools in the Faculty of Engineering, with those in Physical Sciences, involving the relocation of the Schools of Computing and Physics and Astronomy.

This will help to foster a culture of inter-disciplinary working in the development of novel materials to address 21st Century challenges. Read more.
