Relocation of the College of Health Science and Society - Southern Construction Framework (SCF)

The University of West England (UWE) – Relocation of the College of Health Science and Society-Southern Construction Framework (SCF)

In pursuit to provide the best facilities to train a modern healthcare workforce, UWE is relocating its School of Health and Social Wellbeing from the Glenside campus to the Frenchay Campus. This strategic relocation provides the opportunity to design a facility that brings to life the vision for the future success of the School, and to enhance its outstanding learning and teaching, practice led research and partnerships across the region and beyond. The scheme looks to create an Integrated Care Academy (ICA), poised to drive innovation in patient-centric, sustainable healthcare, social care, and wellbeing models. This project also aligns seamlessly with the university’s broader Campus Life project, ensuring healthcare students benefit from an environment that is vibrant, interconnected, and inclusive.
