The project is part of the University’s multi-million plans to transform the site of a former brewery into a centre of excellence for the Built Environment. The ‘Springfield Campus’ will transform higher education delivery in the region, responding to employer demand, and providing lifelong learning, research and innovation in one of the Black Country’s key growth sectors.
The new School of Architecture and the Built Environment will be built on the site of the former Springfield Brewery, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks which has been closed since 1991, and will be part new build and part refurbishment of the Grade II listed buildings currently on the site.
