The multi-million pound City Centre Campus planned by the University of Wales, Newport, has moved a step closer this week with the appointment HBG to prepare the site. Commenting on the design of the proposed new building, designed by architects BDP, Professor Anne Carlisle, Deputy Vice-Chancellor said, “The Hothouse will stand out in the building’s profile as a distinctive zone, suspended from the ceiling and connected by walkways". The new campus will house Newport Business School and the design, film and digital media aspects of the Newport School of Art, Media and Design. The £35m campus, situated on the banks of the River Usk, will be the first phase of an intended £50m development for the University with partnership funding from Newport City Council, the Welsh Assembly Government and Newport Unlimited. The plans for the first phase have been approved in outline by the City Council but are being considered in detail next week.
