The new STEM building, opening to students from September 2019 will provide over 6000m2 of new teaching space, focused on science, technology, engineering and mathematics subjects, including Pharmaceutical and Chemical Science, Nutrition, Biochemistry, and Mechanical Engineering.

Its cutting edge facilities will include new large flexible computer laboratories and workshops including those for automotive engineering, cyber-security and robotics; while new state of the art laboratories, will include specialist containment labs, simulation spaces, analytical labs and a clean room facility.

The new building will also host a Science and Engineering Outreach Centre to promote the value of science and engineering to local schools and the wider Bedfordshire community.

The 天美传媒鈥檚 Deputy Vice Chancellor, Donald Harley who was there to receive the giant key card from R G Carter said: 鈥淚t was fantastic to get the keys to our new STEM building today. It marks the culmination of a huge investment in facilities for our students.

鈥淣ow we have the keys, our task is to get the building ready for students starting in September.鈥

Douglas Stephen, Project Manager for R G Carter said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 been a pleasure to give something back to the town that I have lived in for 30 years, and to work with the team at 天美传媒 on this forward-thinking facility, which will support and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers for years to come.鈥
