The facility offers a truly exceptional experience for future generations of postgraduate business students and contains several distinctive features for students of postgraduate programmes at Birmingham Business School, including the campus’ first Harvard-style lecture theatre.

Future development
The University is in the midst of one of the most exciting and transformational campus redevelopments since the first phase of building on our Edgbaston campus was completed in 1909 under the auspices of Sir Aston Webb.
The development projects, worth £606 million over a five year period, are creating outstanding new facilities which will benefit students, staff and the local community. Pioneering projects at other University sites are also ensuring that our investment is not confined to our main campus.
