A 30 acre industrial site has been transformed into a university campus for 3 faculty and 3 amenity buildings plus halls of residence. The landscaped setting is enhanced by a linear take as an amenity and wildlife habitat, the retention of an existing belt of trees and by a strong emphasis on public places. Cycling and walking are encouraged as the preferred mode of travel on site.
