Plans for new campus at University of Gloucestershire
The new site will be home to nearly 4,000 students.
Plans for a new campus have been revealed by the University of Gloucestershire.
The new site will be home to nearly 4,000 students.
The new campus will be on the site of the former Debenhams building - and will start to open in late 2024.
At the heart of the plans are city centre access for the public, with facilities including the new Gloucestershire County Council library, a Health, Arts and Wellbeing Centre in partnership with the NHS Integrated Care Board, and a public café looking on to Kings Square.
Richard Graham, MP for Gloucester, said: “Our City Campus is taking shape, and new announcements today of a free Law Clinic and an Institute for Education add to the many benefits of University of Gloucestershire’s arrival into Kings Square.
“Easily accessible skills training is vital for our City Centre regeneration and the next stage of our journey to be Britain’s Best Small City. I look forward to seeing the interior digital designs of the public spaces soon.”
University of Gloucestershire Vice-Chancellor, Clare Marchant, said: “Having consolidated and strengthened our Academic Schools, we have taken the opportunity to look again at how our new Gloucester campus can best deliver a connected and high-quality student and staff experience; and help us meet our ambitions to grow and be more connected to our community.
“Having the teachers, psychologists and social workers of the future being trained in the heart of the city presents a unique opportunity for strengthening our community connections, through placements, research and outreach activity.”
