Delivering our Masterplan The fruits of our £200 million Campus Masterplan investment in Preston are transforming the University as a place to learn, work and do business.
A key aspect of the Masterplan is our £35 million Engineering Innovation Centre (EIC), which opened in 2019. This state- of-the-art teaching and research facility brings together the expertise of our academic staff, leading business minds and the very best student engineering talent in a spirit of collaboration and discovery. Our students and partners have access to outstanding facilities and cutting-edge equipment, including additive manufacturing (3D printing), advanced manufacturing workshops, fire engineering lab, motorsports and air vehicles workshop, rapid prototyping, specialist research labs, and more. With the EIC we have an incredible opportunity to position Lancashire at the forefront of what has been termed the
‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ and cement the region’s longstanding position as a national centre of excellence for aerospace, advanced engineering and manufacturing. Our new £60 million Student Centre and University Square, opening later this year, are set to become the beating heart of our Preston Campus, creating an iconic gateway between the city and the University. The Student Centre brings our second-to-none advice and guidance services together under one roof, ensuring that we’re able to support our students from their first day at University until the day they graduate – and beyond. We have succeeded in developing a truly world-class campus which will benefit our students, staff and surrounding communities for many years to come.

• School of Engineering and computing • School of Health, Social Work and Sport • School of Law and Policing • School of Medicine and Dentistry • School of Nursing and Midwifery • School of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences • School of Psychology and Humanities • School of Veterinary Medicine
