Market Square Development

Work is underway on the long term vision for a central University square. While larger development plans continue to progress, the relocation of teams from unsuitable buildings needed to happen to offer them more suitable spaces and working environments.

The project so far has included:

• Providing Campus Safety (formerly Security Services) with a new home on the ground floor of the Market Square building.
• Creating a new hub on the lower ground floor as a space for student front-line services and triage teams to work closely together.
• Eventually demolishing the following buildings: the Security Centre, IT Services, the Student Admin Building and the old Environment building.
• By locating the services in very visible central locations, where students tend to congregate, we are putting the services that students need the most front and centre of our campus.

These changes mark the first stage in a series of major enhancements for the area.
