The £15 million " beacon for health and social care education" was officially opened by University Chancellor, Professor the Lord Winston and provides world-class facilities for health and social care students.

Plans for further development of both campuses are already well advanced with the University planning to replace its third campus at Psalter Lane with a new home for the Faculty of Arts, Computing, Engineering and Sciences at City Campus.
