New Student Centre planned for late 2014

Enhancing the student experience at our Colchester Campus

Lake view

In Spring 2013 work gets underway to build a major new centre to enhance the student experience at our Colchester Campus.

This major project is part of the University’s £200m capital investment plan, and is at the heart of our commitment to offer excellence in education, by providing the best possible facilities to current and future Essex students. Work is planned to start during March with an expected completion date of September 2014.

The scheme will include a new 'one-stop-shop' student centre that houses a number of student services, and an extension to the existing Albert Sloman Library.

In order to minimise noise and disruption to students, building work noise will be significantly reduced during revision and exam time in May and June 2013 and 2014, and work will cease during Graduation in July 2013 and 2014. Other quiet study spaces will be set aside including the Library reading room on the west side of the building, which will have an acoustic partition for 200 workstations.

This major new scheme will offer

The new buildings are planned for completion by late 2014, and the architects are Patel Taylor, who designed the University’s award-winning Ivor Crewe Lecture Hall. View more architect's images of the new buildings.
