Shaping the Future at Temple Quarter

With the move to Temple Quarter, BILT is offering colleagues across the University a range of support to help them with the transition to the new teaching spaces. Some of the provisions are targeted towards a specific school or faculty, but anyone can attend if there is room. Other events are open to all.
