Springfield Campus

The university's architecture and built environment super-campus opened in October 2020, and was named by framework provider Pagabo as its ‘best project above £15m'. This stunning set of facilities for construction excellence is based at the city's former Springfield Brewery site, and was completed to rave reviews.

Marches Centre for Excellence in Health

This £5m project was completed and opened in March 2021, and uses cutting edge technology to revolutionise the way in which health-based learning is delivered. The centre will see over 1,000 students enrolled in the first four years of operation and will provide 72 jobs, as well as two new apprenticeship programmes, offering 174 apprentice opportunities.

Midlands Centre for Cyber Security

This joint venture between the university and Herefordshire Council provides office space for cyber business, advanced training options to tackle threats in cyberspace, and, through the Wolverhampton Cyber Research Institute (WCRI), the opportunity to expand the understanding of the high-tech world of cyber-crime, offering better defence solutions against this growing threat.
