The new complex will also be open to the public with a gallery space , café and events atrium where students , staff and visiting artists can showcase their work to members of the community .
The project provides a direct point of contact between the local community , the university , and its industries allowing the city , its residents and visitors to engage with the creative work Coventry ’ s students are producing . It will also aim to inspire diverse audiences and participants locally , nationally and internationally with new ways of engaging with creative practice and education .
Dr Shaun Hides , Academic Dean ( Arts and Humanities ), said : “ We were founded in 1843 through a collaboration of educators , the city and leading industrialists who wanted to help improve the skills of the people of Coventry .
“ The faculty cherishes this great history of innovation , alongside our reputation for educating students who achieve amazing things , going on to win prestigious Global awards , making an impact and securing careers with world-leading companies , but who all contribute to the communities around them .
“ At our heart , we are doers and makers . This development and investment in our faculty takes what we can offer our students to a whole new level .
“ Providing students and staff with such fantastic , creative learning spaces with innovative , immersive facilities is an opportunity to move things forward and create better futures for everyone involved .”
