Plans submitted to use Rowley's House in Shrewsbury for university
Plans to change a former museum into a university building in Shrewsbury have been submitted to Shropshire Council.

Graham Fairlie, of the University of Chester, has applied for a change of use of Rowley's House Museum in Barker Street from a museum to an administration and teaching facility.
University Centre Shrewsbury is being established by the University of Chester and Shropshire Council after research showed there was strong demand for and interest in a new institution to serve the needs of the county.
Shropshire Council and the University of Chester are working together to deliver the new university, which they say will be "unique, distinctive and will develop Shropshire's economy whilst also having significant national and international relevance".
The overall design principle is to initially create an education quarter in and around Frankwell, making use of existing council physical assets as part of the teaching, research and learning support. As part of the plans Rowley's House has been picked to be an administration and education centre.
