The School of Management's new home

Ambition has a new home. Read more about our new building and how it will transform your student experience.

Ambition built in

We are a leading UK business school and rank highly internationally. But we don’t want to stop there. Building on over half a century of experience, we’re working on plans to help us inspire and innovate for the next 50 years and beyond.

We've built something big. Help us build something bigger.


Our students set the bar high. We want our facilities to help you become the best you can be. The latest technology gives you a flexible learning and research environment to inspire you to do great things.

The building design focuses on working together. The space lets you engage with other students, academics, support staff and employers. We want to create even stronger links between the University and business and our building acts as a bridge between the two.

The building includes:

  • an Employability Hub - for our industry partners to visit and help prepare you for the workplace
  • The Pavilion café where you can study and meet with other students, faculty and employers
  • a Behavioural Research Lab – so you can study real and digital environments
  • nine lecture theatres and a 250 seat auditorium

'When we were designing this building, we had three principles in mind: flexibility, transparency and collaboration.'

Staff welcome you to our new building and explain the thinking behind the design.

‘The building integrates beautifully with the rest of the campus and the amount of light is incredible! The working space is inspiring for creativity, the openness will help us think outside the box.’
