THE UNIVERSITY of Worcester has a new flexible teaching space at its Severn campus building.
On the grounds off Hylton Road, the new building is crafted to accommodate diverse student cohorts and courses offered by the university.
Professor David Green, CBE DL, the University’s vice chancellor and chief executive, said: “This new building will provide valuable flexible teaching spaces for our students studying Nursing,
Medicine, Occupational Therapy, Sports and Exercise Science, Physiotherapy, Sports Therapy and other health and wellbeing professional courses at our Severn Campus.
“The campus is already home to the Elizabeth casson building, where our paramedic sciences students learn to save lives, and the award-winning University of Worcester arena, which has become a hub for both grassroots and elite sports performance and coaching.”
Designed by Glancey Nicholls Architects, the three-storey structure will integrate a blend of staff and students, encompassing six teaching spaces, staff workstations and offices, two internal lifts, and an external plant room.
The project site is situated next to the university’s former Garage studios, bordering the River Severn that courses through the heart of Worcester.
Professor Green further elaborated on the campus’s role in fostering medical education.
“The Severn Campus is also home to the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson building for health and medical education, where our medical students are already learning the skills they’ll need to become the new doctors our NHS needs so badly.”
“This sustainably designed building will provide outstanding learning facilities for students. It will also be another contribution to high quality urban redevelopment in Worcester with a former declining, largely empty former industrial estate being transformed into a vibrant new campus for the benefit of students and the wider community.”
