Construction work has begun creating a new £30 million teaching and learning building at Southampton Solent University’s East Park Terrace campus. Once completed, the new building will include dedicated teaching and learning spaces, as well as new conference facilities and exhibition space that will be available to local business.

The building will feature a spectacular atrium forming the central hub of the new block. The centre piece will be a suspended ‘pod’ housing a lecture theatre with a viewing platform above. The first stage is due for completion by the end of December 2015.

Southampton Solent University is situated in the centre of Southampton a short walk from Southampton Central station.
