About this contract

The University has committed to creating a new campus for its ever-widening community, in the heart of Northampton. The new Waterside Campus, opening in September 2018, will provide state-of-the-art academic facilities for 15,000 students, additional residential facilities for 1,200 students and leisure facilities open to the local community.
