New Facilities
The Estates Project allows us to strengthen both our digital and traditional media based resources.
- Over the summer of 2010 we have spent a further £300k on upgrading our workshops and facilities, to add to last year's £200k investment.
- A further £250k has been allocated for the purchase of new equipment during the final phase of the project in 2011/12.
The list below summaries the key changes to the workshops and other facilities in the Faculty from the summer of 2010.
