Our new £116 million ARC, Advanced Research Centre, was officially opened on the 8th June 2022. The ARC is a vibrant, creative and collaborative research building, built to facilitate multi-disciplinary collaboration and creativity. It houses around 500 academics, postdoctoral researchers and PhD students working across five broad themes. The ground floor is accessible to the University and the wider community, providing much needed space to facilitate engagement, networking, meetings and exhibitions.
