Civic spaces

Civic Spaces are designed to connect staff, students, partners, and communities in shared work.

These university engagement spaces operate as research hubs, centres for engaged learning, outreach, entrepreneurship, and public dialogue all in one, breaking down boundaries between discipline, sector, businesses and communities.

Public events in our civic spaces are listed online - you can look at what's on and book your place here.
