New City Centre University Campus

An iconic £35 million new city centre campus for the University of Wales in Newport will open for students in January 2011.  The building itself was designed to BREEAM excellence standard, and will house the Newport Business School and the design, film and digital media aspects of Newport School of Art, Media and Design. 

The campus will include teaching, research, exhibition and studio space as well as a restaurant, library and roof-top boardroom.  The new 441 bed student accommodation building was opened in 2008.
