Coming soon: multi-million pound laboratory investment

We’re investing £12m in our facilities, including a complete renovation of our teaching labs, ready for students joining us in 2019.

This refurbishment will ensure our students benefit from an outstanding educational experience. It will provide students with modern, state-of-the-art teaching spaces and provide more opportunities for experimental work and hands-on use of advanced analytical and spectroscopic equipment.

Our £12m refurbishment will:

fully upgrade the undergraduate teaching laboratories in Chemistry enabling us to provide an excellent student experience
prepare our students for future employment; they’ll be using facilities and equipment which mirror those use in modern chemistry laboratories in industry
introduce high-quality audio visual and IT equipment, as well as electronic laboratory notebooks, to support our students in their studies
improve accessibility for all of our students, including providing variable-height benching and a new student entrance and locker space on the ground floor
help us to become more sustainable by increasing energy efficiency, improving thermal insulation, and lowering our water usage

We’ll also be increasing accessibility, and making our facilities more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
