Plans for the University of Bedfordshire’s new £16m Postgraduate and Continuing Professional Development centre in Luton have been drawn up.
Due to open in 2013, the Postgraduate centre will be built on the site of the former Students’ Union building along Vicarage Street and will house state-of-the-art teaching space over five storeys.
It will be aimed mainly at postgraduate students and delegates from local regional businesses undertaking a wide range of continuing professional development courses.
Deputy Vice Chancellor (External Relations) Professor Ashraf Jawaid said: “This is a very exciting project and I am delighted that plans have now been drawn up, approved by our Board of Governors and can go forward for planning permission.
“The University is going from strength to strength, investing in its facilities and new courses, growing its reputation around the word and attracting more and more students. Our postgraduate numbers have grown five times over the last three years with some 2850 full time overseas students and 850 home students. This new centre will build on that success.”
The centre is the third phase of a development project which started with the opening of a £34m Campus Centre in the town last October.
The second phase - £40m student halls along Vicarage Street – is on schedule to be completed in time for the new academic year this autumn.
