BCU has big plans for Eastside
BIRMINGHAM City University is pressing ahead with plans to build a £125m campus in Eastside.
The scheme – which would see the university’s current City North site in Perry Barr replaced as its main campus by a new building on land near Millennium Point – is at the consultation phase with staff, students and the wider community being asked for their opinions.
Businesses in Perry Barr – in areas such retail and food and drink – are certain to be vocal in their views as a BCU switch to Eastside could have a large impact on their fortunes and the fortune of the area in general.
Plans for the second phase of Eastside will be submitted to Birmingham City Council on Monday.
