The first phase of the scheme can now get under way after the University secured £60m funding from the European Investment Bank plus a further £30m from Welsh Government and the Wales European Funding Office.
The first phase will include construction of a new Science and Innovation Campus plus the regeneration of the University’s Singleton Park Campus.
The first phase will also provide 2,000 student accommodation beds and the whole £400m project is expected to create 4,000 construction jobs.
