The city centre is always undergoing exciting changes, and in the ‘Birmingham Eastside’ area just next to Aston, is undergoing a multi-billion pound project to create a major new social, cultural and creative Learning Quarter.

Everyone at the University is excited at the prospect of Eastside taking shape and our role within it. Watch this space...

Elsewhere in the city, Birmingham’s rejuvenation continues. New Street train station will be redeveloped in a £550 million pound project, whilst £600 million has been earmarked to develop Martineau Galleries, a network of open streets and squares, public art, offices, bars, shops and restaurants. A new £193 million library is set to transform Centenary Square in Birmingham city centre.
