students are timetabled for lectures and seminars. As well as the new teaching


and learning building, the redevelopment of the Bedford Campus includes: a national standard 300-seat capacity sports arena, and an all-weather, multi- use Astroturf games area. A new fitness centre is also planned to open in February 2015. The Gateway is part of the


University’s wider ‘greening of the campus’ initiative and includes a number of sustainable and low carbon technologies. The University was recently awarded a first-class honours in the People and Planet Green League for its efforts


in tackling sustainability. The new building will offer


the University’s students a whole host of new facilities. These include high-quality teaching spaces, informal learning spaces, and lecture theatres (including a Harvard-style lecture theatre); as well as a new student services centre. Bill Rammell continued:
