New campus investments

The University of Exeter continuously invests in building new facilities, services and spaces for students and staff - ensuring that it remains a contemporary, modern university for the students of tomorrow.

One of the foremost developments it the creation of an immersive and exciting ecosystem of makerspaces, which are dedicated to enhancing entrepreneurship and digital innovation in engineering. Students will be able to use their cutting-edge technologies and collaborative spaces to drive their progress in areas like design thinking, gamification, robotic and digital simulation, 3D printing and prototyping.

Recent makerspaces include the Creative Quadrant, located at the university's Business School, as well as the Engineer Makerspace at Harrison, and the Digital Makerspace in Exeter's Forum Library. Connecting these spaces through proven facilities like the Digital Humanities Lab unlocks revolutionary teaching and research methods that push well beyond the traditional lecture and seminar approach.

Another development is a purpose-built facility, the new Centre for Resilience Environment, Water and Waste (CREWW). This transdisciplinary research centre will be based in the Streatham Campus and will be a conduit for revolutionary research into the water sector. With impressive laboratory facilities and collaborative spaces, researchers, academics and industry partners will be able to use this new space to tackle the most pressing issues facing global water security today.

Other developments include increased capacity at the university's wellbeing services centre at the Streatham Campus, a new multi-faith centre featuring inclusive and flexible spaces, and redevelopment of a number of student residence accommodation.
