Creative Quarter

We propose to establish a Creative Quarter on our Cambridge campus, on East Road.

The Creative Quarter will incorporate several existing buildings and the Collier Road campus entrance, alongside a planned new media building.

The Creative Quarter will ultimately offer an enhanced learning environment, build a more vibrant University community, and provide attractive and well-maintained outdoor spaces.
