The University of Plymouth’s ambition of creating a space that will inspire and educate future generations of engineers and designers has reached a significant milestone.

Work has been ongoing for several months to transform the Babbage Building into a state-of-the-art engineering and design building.

Once complete, it will provide an innovative and sustainable new home for the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics and additional space for the School of Art, Design and Architecture.

Designed by internationally award-winning architectural practice Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, and project managed by AECOM, the building is being transformed and expanded by BAM Construct UK.

A topping out ceremony, attended by representatives from the University and project team, has now been held on site as the project continues to progress.
