University of Warwick advances £700m campus plan
The University of Warwick has committed to a £700m investment in its West Midlands campus representing the largest single investment in campus facilities across its entire 60-year history.
Preparations for phase one of the STEM Connect Programme will involve the new science and engineering precinct to reinvigorate the heart of its campus.
A former car park at the University’s main campus will be the site for the new teaching spaces and laboratories under the new plans.
Works plan
- A new flagship 25,000m² Science and Engineering Building
- Demolition and refurbishment of buildings currently occupied by Physics and Chemistry to create new departmental homes for these disciplines as well as Engineering
- New University Green at the centre of campus
- A public engagement space, encouraging future scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians to take part in activities and to view the impact our research has through interactive exhibitions
- Energy efficient buildings, with the ambition of achieving WELL Platinum standards, or equivalent
Site enabling works are set to start now with construction of the 25,000 sq m Science and Engineering Building set to start in autumn 2025.
The Connect Programme will also strengthen the economy by creating more than 1,500 construction-related jobs over the lifetime of the project.
Warwick University has enlisted Mace as project manager, BDP as architect and Arup for building services design.
