The student centre is part of the first phase of a £70m masterplan and means all the current student facilities will be housed in one building.
It will feature a 400-seat lecture theatre, exhibition space, student support and catering facilities
Robin Dryer, project associate at RMJM said: “We’ve taken great care to design a sustainable low energy building that is naturally ventilated, sensitive to the local townscape and targeting BREEAM excellent.”
Work will begin in March 2009 subject to planning approval.
