Plans submitted for multi-million pound Bristol campus

Plans for the University of Bristol’s new £300M campus project, which will sit at the heart of the Temple Quarter Enterprise Zone have been unveiled.

The campus will be built near Bristol Temple Meads train station on the derelict former sorting office site and will be at the centre of one of the largest urban regeneration projects in the UK, giving the prime city centre site a new lease of life.

It’s hoped the campus will open in time for the start of the 2021/22 academic year.

Temple Quarter Campus is a unique collaboration between the University, Bristol City Council, Government, industry and philanthropic partners, and the local business community that will build on the city’s enviable reputation for high-tech and digital innovation.

Not only will it provide an important catalyst for UK economic growth, job creation and opportunities for Bristol’s communities but it will secure the University’s future growth for generations to come.

Business and Energy Secretary Greg Clark said: “Our forthcoming Industrial Strategy is committed to creating highly skilled and versatile workforces in all areas of the UK.

“The development of this exceptional new campus for the University of Bristol is a brilliant example of this strategy in action, with government, academia and industry collaborating to deliver future-focused training that will build on Bristol’s growing reputation as a digital and tech cluster.”

Central to the vision for the new campus are a Digital Innovation Hub, a ‘business school of the future’, and a student residential village.
