London university doubles the size of £3.5m “state-of-the-art” campus

Staffordshire University London has completed its work to double the size of its “state-of-the-art campus”, located at Here East adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

The expansion brings more open plan spaces, digital facilities, and social areas to the university “with a focus on providing an atmosphere of collaboration and interactivity for all who study, work, and visit the University”.

This also allows the University to expand its course offerings in 2022, providing students with the chance to undertake degrees in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science & Informatics, and Financial Technologies.

Director of Staffordshire University London Matt Brindley-Sadler said: “Staffordshire University London is at the heart of an ecosystem of emerging industries and innovation in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

“We’re delighted that the work to double the size of our campus has now been completed. We wanted to expand our campus for our students by providing an atmosphere where innovation and creativity can flourish and they are empowered to create the uncreated.”

Mike Magen, COO at Here East added: “We’re delighted that Staffordshire University London has finished its work to double the size of its campus and that new courses will be offered to students as a result of the expansion.

“As a valued member of the Here East education and innovation ecosystem, we’ve always been pleased to partner with Staffordshire University London. From our scholarship programme to our Industry Insights initiative, which enabled young people living in East London to learn the key skills required for a career in esports.”
