Telford uni campus set to show off £10 million investment
Telford's university campus is throwing open its doors to let visitors see the results of a £10 million investment.
The Telford Innovation Campus of the University of Wolverhampton has invested the money in its engineering programme, including new engineering facilities and enhanced courses.
In response to the regional and national shortage of qualified engineering graduates, focusing on providing students with access to technology at the forefront of engineering developments.
Visitors to the University's Open Day at Telford Innovation Campus will be the first to get a glimpse of the new workshops with three car bays, benches and professional tools to support the University of Wolverhampton Race Team (UWR) students' work on its Formula 3 racing car as well as £100,000 state-of-the-art flight and track simulators.
Professor Ian Oakes, deputy vice-chancellor of the University of Wolverhampton, said: "The £10 million investment in new facilities and a range of new engineering courses is creating a lot of interest.
"We know that the visitors to our Open Day will be impressed with the improvements.
"This substantial investment we have made in enhanced provision and expanded facilities demonstrates our commitment to providing the next generation of skilled engineers.
"Our new courses will combine activity based learning and live industrial project work and place a real focus on creativity and employability."
