THE ESTATE The University’s city centre campus itself is continually developing and evolving, and a £100 million-plus investment in a new student centre, engineering and computing building and science andhealth facility isplayingakey role inmodernising theentire learning experience. Impressive recent developments such as the RIBA award-winning Hub – which is a focal point of student activity on the 33-acre city centre site – and the feature-packed Engineering and Computing Building have already become iconic structures on the Coventry landscape. We have invested £350m in the estate in the last 8 years including the addition of a ground-breaking £55m Engineering and Computing Building, an award-winning £35m Student Hub that opened in 2011 as well as the new £59m Science & Health Building which was opened in January 2018 by Their Royal Highnesses. The University and the city of Coventry itself has a lot to look forward to over the next decade. As far as ‘town and gown’ relationships go, the University and the city council enjoy a hugely positive rapport which has paved the way for the University to transform the city’s skyline and make an enormous contribution to its economy over the years. It was announced in 2015, a deal with the council, Coventry University will be investing a further £125 million into new buildings in what will be the largest and most significant development in its history. The project still in early design stages, will house a new headquarters, new international student centre and new business incubation unit are all part of the plan, and will all have a role to play

in the University’s ambition to be truly world class in everything that it does. A new headquarters, new international student centre and new business incubation unit are all part of the plan, and will all have a role to play in the university’s ambition to be truly world class in everything that it does. Other locations Coventry University has a wide-ranging and innovative portfolio. Having successfully launched its London campus in 2010 – which is now thriving with around 1,000 students – and Coventry University College in 2011, the University has extended its geographical reach further launching Coventry University Scarborough Campus in September 2015. Bringing a new era in higher education to the region, its focus is on making it more accessible, flexible and affordable to meet the lifestyle and career aspirations of modern learners. True to Coventry University’s longstanding reputation for having strong links with industry, it has collaborated with the Unipart Manufacturing Group a ‘faculty on the factory floor’ which was created in response to increasing demand from students to have industry experience and employability embedded in their course. The Institute for Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering allows students to study and work alongside industry professionals in a real manufacturing environment, with a unique opportunity to engage with genuine industry projects. When students graduate, they already have the front- line experience that they know is sought after by employers.
