Leeds Trinity £10m campus plans given go-ahead

PLANNING has been granted for Leeds Trinity University’s £10m campus development.

The Horsforth residential plans have been approved by Leeds City Council and will be completed by contractors Morgan Sindall.

Stephen Oddy, director of Facilities at Leeds Trinity University, said: “These latest proposals highlight Leeds Trinity University’s commitment to developing and sustaining a campus that reflects its ambitions as a growing institution, as well as providing an aesthetically pleasing, sustainable environment that our staff, students and the local community can be proud of.

“The submission of these plans follows a welcome increase in student applications at the University over recent years. Currently there are approximately 3,200 students on campus, with an estimated 1,000 additional students expected to join over the next five years.

The demolition on the old Student Union building has begun and the whole development is due for completion by September 2016.

Leeds Trinity’s new site will be able to house 288 students, comprising 29 cluster flats as well as outdoor changing facilities for the 3G astroturf pitch located nearby.

Mr Oddy added: “The University is committed to providing its students with the best experience possible by continually investing in ongoing improvements to the campus buildings and facilities.

“The new accommodation will vastly improve campus life and ensure students have everything they need in one place.”
