Staffordshire University London

In 2021, we invested £3.5 million in the expansion of our London campus at Here East adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in East London.

The aim of this transformation project was to increase the opportunities for our current and future students by providing access to next level resources and learning spaces. 

New campus facilities

We are dedicated to creating the next generation of learning, teaching and working spaces for our staff, students and visiting stakeholders. We wanted to build upon our existing award-winning estate with a focus on providing an atmosphere of collaboration and interactivity for all who study, work and visit. To this extent we created unique spaces for work and social activity to enhance the experience for all.

The Data Junction

This is one of our new units and is designed to accelerate our commitment to digitally focused academic areas.

Housing our Computer Science and Cyber Security programs, alongside our new suite of courses in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Informatics, and Financial Technologies, this mega-laboratory truly ‘plugged in’.

In addition to advanced wireless casting and presenting facilities, this new teaching and learning technology allows for synchronous delivery of different classes and activities. It also facilitates working across subject areas so that students benefit from peer-to-peer working as reflected in industry. There is also a dedicated cyber and networking laboratory, additional meeting spaces and a self-serve coffee bar.

The Digital Loft

Adopting a hybrid digital and natural world aesthetic, The Digital Loft, on the top floor of campus, is home to a range of staff and student amenities.

‘Reload’ is our showpiece retro-gaming café with innovative touch-screen tables to order your food and drink as well as being able to play games whilst socialising.

The Digital Loft is also home to teaching and collaboration zones for all subject areas, a dedicated presentation space, a downtime and reflection quiet area known as ‘Recharge’.

This area of campus is also home to our academic staff and student support teams as well as bookable meeting spaces for all. Fully integrated virtual conferencing is embedded throughout and there are also private pods available for work and study.
