Science and Innovation Campus

The Science and Innovation Campus will enable the University to ‘break out’ of its current estate constraints, providing space for growth and facilitating increased collaboration with industry. It will deliver a next generation ‘Science Park’, co-locating University and industry researchers, students and academics – not only on the same site, but using the same laboratories and facilities.  This model can be seen to be operating successfully on the Singleton Campus through the Institute of Life Science.

Phase 1 of the Science and Innovation campus will include:

Engineering Quarter

• Innovation Hub and Engineering Manufacturing Facility co-locating industry and College of Engineering research.
• Swansea Materials and Research Testing (SMaRT). Materials testing centre to include testing for Rolls Royce of new and existing materials that are used in the aerospace and aero engine industries.
• The Energy Safety Research Institute focuses on the safety issues surrounding the development of existing energy processes, as well as the safe deployment and integration of new green energy technologies.
• College of Engineering teaching and research facilities
