Following an initial phase of consultation earlier this year, the University will be launching its second phase of consultation on plans for the North East Quadrant (NEQ) of our Highfield Campus.
Thank you to those of you who shared your thoughts on the initial plans – the Project Team have taken them into consideration during the next phase of development.
You can find out more information about the proposals on Wednesday 1 November from 15:00 to 20:00 in the foyer of Turner Sims. A set of boards will be available to browse, and members of the team will be present to answer any questions you may have. Alternatively, the information will be available to view online at www.soton.ac.uk/neq after the event.
The new building on this site will house new teaching and learning facilities, bookable rooms, collaborative teaching spaces and a café as well as cycle storage and a significant improvement to the landscaping and pedestrian routes.
In developing plans for the NEQ, we have had to carefully consider the current space and its usage as the Broadlands Road Car Park. After conducting an examination of usage across our estate, including Hampton Park, Avenue Campus Car Park, spaces at Boldrewood including the Multi-Storey Car Park previously used by Lloyd’s register, and the recently opened South Broadlands Car Park, we have determined that the University has sufficient parking opportunities available for staff across our campuses.
