The new facilities feature a hyper studio designed for cross-disciplinary projects and immersive studios with cutting-edge virtual reality and mixed reality technologies; enhancing the faculty’s creative, teaching and learning spaces and offering students sector-leading facilities in a unique environment. The project also provides high-quality studios and workshops for film, photography, printmaking, wood, metal, plastics, ceramic fibre clay and digital education.
The campus remains live with surrounding buildings remaining occupied.
