On the block between Grosvenor Street, Upper Brook Street and Booth Street East, a huge construction project is underway. It\u2019s difficult to tell right now, but when the work is complete, it will cover the space of 11 football pitches.<\/p>\n

In fact, the main building, MEC Hall, could house a sandwich made from Beetham Towers (all 47 storeys) \u2013 with one tower stacked on top of the other.<\/p>\n

So far, so impressive \u2013 but what\u2019s really exciting is that this site will become The University of Manchester\u2019s Engineering Campus<\/a>, building on the city\u2019s centuries-old reputation as a Northern Powerhouse for engineering. As Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell, President and Vice-Chancellor of the University, noted: \u201cThis is much more than just a nice new building.\u201d<\/p>\n

Big and clever<\/h2>\n

\"Manchester<\/p>\n

Construction of the Manchester Engineering Campus Development (MECD) began in spring 2015, but this is a project that\u2019s been far longer in the making. You could even say the seeds for this build began back in 1824.<\/p>\n

That was the year that marked the founding of the Manchester Mechanics\u2019 Institution – the predecessor to The University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST)\u00a0and, later, The University of Manchester. The aim of the institute was to educate the working men of a city that gave birth to the Industrial Revolution. Fast-forward nearly 200 years and MECD will be a place to not only educate, but also collaborate, build, experiment and innovate.<\/p>\n

There will be laboratories specifically designed for a particular area of research, such as the High Voltage Lab, along with blended learning facilities and a unique \u2018maker space\u2019 to give students the chance to see their creations brought to life.<\/p>\n

Every detail of the new campus has been thought out, right down to the last microscopic detail – literally. The basement, which will contain clean rooms and dry labs, has been specifically designed to transmit as little vibration as possible, so that materials can be examined at high resolution under the ultra-sensitive microscopes housed there.<\/p>\n

And while some spaces have very specific design requirements, for others adaptability is key. This is a campus that will evolve along with not just its students, but the research and engineering breakthroughs that occur under its roof as well. It\u2019s going to be big, yes, but it\u2019ll be clever too.<\/p>\n

Topping out<\/h2>\n

\"Band<\/p>\n

While the appearance of cranes and hard-hatted workers may suggest otherwise, development of the new campus is speeding along. Any new engineering students who have started a four-year degree this September will spend their final year on the new campus.<\/p>\n

In 2021, MECD will welcome the Schools of Materials; Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering (MACE); Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science (CEAS), as well as the Dalton Nuclear Institute and the BP International Centre for Advanced Materials.<\/p>\n

Last week marked an important date in the build \u2013 the largest single on-site construction project ever taken on by the University. During a morning of relentless but trademark rain, the doors of the MECD site were opened to invited visitors in order to mark its \u2018topping out\u2019 \u2013 reaching the highest point of the construction.<\/p>\n

\u201cA city of science and engineering\u201d<\/h2>\n
\"Signing
Dean of FSE Professor Martin Schr\u00f6der, Balfour Beatty\u2019s Chief Executive Dean Banks, Director of Estates and Facilities Diana Hampson, Group CEO of Balfour Beatty Leo Quinn and President and Vice-Chancellor of The University of Manchester Professor Nancy Rothwell.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Speaking at the event, Professor Rothwell said: \u201cMECD will reinforce Manchester\u2019s status as a city of science and engineering excellence.\u201d She added: \u201cMECD will create a world-leading teaching, learning and research facility to develop the engineers, scientists and innovators of tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her comments were echoed by Diana Hampson, the University\u2019s Director of Estates and Facilities, who said: \u201cThe Manchester Engineering Campus Development will create state-of-the-art facilities that will put the University at the forefront of engineering globally, helping attract even more world-class talent to the institution. We are proud to provide such an exceptional space for our exceptional people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The high point of the topping out ceremony (pun intended) was the signing of a girder, which will go on to mark the highest point of the campus. Representatives of both the University and construction partner Balfour Beatty were on-hand to put pen to\u2026 steel.<\/p>\n

New digs<\/h2>\n

While it will be some time before our engineers move in to their new base, a few will have the chance to make themselves at home in MECD now. This is thanks to a pilot workspace situated on the North Campus\u2019 Pariser Lawn.<\/p>\n

Each of the Engineering Schools will have the chance to experience the new work and study environment \u2013 and first up is MACE and CEAS, with a team from each of the two Schools moving in yesterday (September 24th). You can find out more about this pilot scheme on Staffnet<\/a>.<\/p>\n
