Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal has officially opened the University’s Boldrewood Innovation Campus today (Thursday 17 September).
Combining the world-class expertise of the University and Lloyd’s Register, the £140m Southampton Boldrewood Innovation Campus is the UK’s largest University-business partnership.
When fully completed, the state-of-the-art campus will host world-class research infrastructure including an anechoic wind chamber, advanced fluid dynamics experimental facilities, which will be used across a range of disciplines including civil engineering and aerospace, and a 140-metre towing tank that will provide detailed research on new maritime technologies.
Together, the University and Lloyd’s Register aim to stimulate innovation, create new business and bring jobs and opportunities to the local economy.
Professor Don Nutbeam, Vice-Chancellor, said:
“This new campus will enable us to build on our world-leading research and enterprise activities and enhance our capacity to make major advances and innovation.”
