Investing in the future

Teesside is a high-performing global university, proud to be anchored in the Tees Valley. We provide aspiration to our community and learning opportunities for all, and work with individuals and businesses to develop solutions that deliver ambition today.

Over the last five years we’ve invested over £275m in our award-winning town centre campus in the heart of Middlesbrough – but our campus masterplan doesn’t stop there. Our high-quality campus rivals any in the sector to further enhance the experience of all our students, staff, partners, businesses and the community to transform lives and economies.

Campus masterplan

Recent developments include a Student Life building for all student-facing services, new central library facilities, and the £22.3m National Horizons Centre – a biomedical teaching and research facility at our Darlington campus.

New for September 2023 is BIOS, our stateof-the-art £36.9m facility on our Middlesbrough campus, offering high-quality, leading-edge labs for the sciences and clinical subjects including anatomy, pharmacy, microbiology, chemistry, Earth sciences and food sciences. Ongoing projects also include the £13.1m Net Zero Industry Innovation Centre, putting Teesside at the heart of the UK’s green industrial revolution. The Centre brings together expert insight, resources and partnerships to grow net zero capabilities and opportunities, placing the region at the forefront of the clean energy agenda and helping to create hundreds more clean energy jobs. The Centre is a part of a £16.1m total funding package approved by the Tees Valley Mayor and Combined Authority, and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.

Developed in consultation with our students, the Waterhouse, which sits at the top of Albert Road, has undergone a £5m transformation to become The Buttery – a contemporary and innovative space exclusively for postgraduate students and researchers to study, collaborate and relax.

Ecosystem of the Tees Valley

On Victoria Road we have repurposed the Victoria building to provide business enterprise space for graduates and local entrepreneurs. It’s part of the creation of a

£5.6m University Enterprise Zone on our Middlesbrough campus. It is also home to Teesside Launchpad (a business incubator facility for growing local skills, enterprise and entrepreneurship), and plays a vital part in the enterprise ecosystem of the Tees Valley, particularly among the digital industries. Working with the University’s DigitalCity and Middlesbrough Council, it provides a seamless pathway for digital businesses to grow into Middlesbrough’s Boho tech hub.

Global-looking university

Malcolm Page, Chief Operating Officer said, ‘Our multimillion-pound campus masterplan is transformative. It underpins our commitment to delivering the best possible student and learning experience.

‘It also reinforces our position as an ambitious, global-looking university which is committed to investing in our region and establishing Teesside as a thriving hub for skills development, creativity and inspiration.’
