24 | Investment on Campus We are continuing to invest in our campus to ensure our facilities, teaching spaces and laboratories provide a sector-leading student experience on a single integrated campus. Investment on Central Science Laboratory (CSL) The state-of-the-art CSL building provides a student focused learning environment designed to offer new ways to learn and collaborate. This £34m investment, opening in 2019, will contain ‘wet’ and ‘dry’ labs as well as IT labs. The new facilities enable students to undertake pre-laboratory preparation so they are familiar with the theoretical concepts and practical techniques before completing experiments in the laboratory so they can maximise their learning capacity. Veterinary School The Harper & Keele Veterinary School will provide a five-year programme leading to a degree in Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, with training to be delivered on both Keele and Harper Adams’ university campuses, in partnership with local clinical providers and industry. Students will be based at one university but will study on both campuses and have the opportunity to enjoy the facilities of both. The Harper & Keele Veterinary School brings together two unique institutions with a track record of excellence in teaching and student experience, to provide an exciting new opportunity for veterinary students to train within rural Staffordshire and Shropshire. Denise Coates Foundation Building Our veterinary students will have access to world-leading science facilities on the Keele campus, including our Medical School, and state-of-the-art clinical facilities on the Harper Adams campus. The fully integrated curriculum ensures that students will relate their underpinning knowledge to clinical relevance from the outset. The Smart Innovation Hub is the new state-of-the-art home for Keele Business School opening in September 2019. For more information, see page 70.
