Explore our facilities
From sports facilities to teaching spaces and laboratories, we're investing in our facilities to improve the experience we deliver to our students, academic and researchers, our partners in business, and the local community.
Our undergraduates can access the latest equipment during their studies. There's also academic and personal support available to help them make the most of their time with us.
The continuing investment we're making in our laboratories and research capabilities is leading to major breakthroughs – such as the development of a plastic eating enzyme within our Centre for Enzyme Innovation.
The same facilities we use for our research are also open to businesses – whether they're looking to access our experts for training, conduct their own research, or partner with us on a collaborative research project.
Off campus, we've developed facilities in partnership with other businesses and organisations – including the Southern Water treatment plant, the Harwell Science and Innovation Centre in Oxfordshire, and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France.
We're continuing to develop our campus as part of our £400m Estates Masterplan – which features refurbishments, redevelopments and new buildings across our campus and city.
