A statement submitted to the local authority on behalf of the university said: “The brief for this site is to create a collaborative research building acting as a bridge between industry partners and the university, for research and development.

“The focus of this is a series of hi-tech laboratory rooms housing specialist equipment alongside a series of training and lounge spaces for partnership activities and learning.

“As a flexible and evolving space, it is hoped that qualitative research can be carried out within the facility.” [/emaillocker]
