Middlesbrough Council approves new Teesside University building plans

Middlesbrough Council has approved plans for a new Student Life Building designed by FaulknerBrowns Architects for Teesside University.

The proposals will consolidate all student-facing support, wellbeing and information services within a central location at the heart of the Middlesbrough campus to improve accessibility and the overall student experience.

The project forms part of Teesside University’s 10-year masterplan and estates strategy, developed in conjunction with FaulknerBrowns.

The building, to be constructed by Willmott Dixon, will house a range of student-centred and student-led spaces.

Paul Crowther, project leader at FaulknerBrowns, said: “The scheme offers a unique opportunity to help the university realise the aspirations of their strategic estates masterplan, whilst delivering a student-focused space that puts wellbeing and support at the heart of the both the campus and the student experience.”

The building will be a technology-enabled environment, supporting many learning styles, activities and attendance patterns.

It will offer a range of flexible spaces, enabling social and collaborative learning, as well as an information zone, consulting rooms, syndicate rooms, accommodation for student welfare, disability services and a café.
