University’s Board of Governors gives the green light for the next stage of the Waterside Campus development

The University of Northampton has been given the green light by its Board of Governors to proceed with proposals for the development of the exciting new Waterside Campus.

The landmark development will create a modern university campus in the heart of Northampton, within the Northampton Waterside Enterprise Zone. If the development progresses as hoped, the ground work could start in 2014, with the campus anticipated to open in autumn 2018.

Professor Nick Petford, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Northampton said: “The proposed Waterside campus is a hugely exciting development for the University. I am thrilled that the Board of Governors has approved the development plan; we will now progress to the next stage, consulting people in Northampton on the plans before submitting an outline planning application.
