Swansea University’s new Science and Innovation Bay Campus and the redevelopment of the existing Singleton Campus will mark the next step in the University’s journey in becoming a world-leading Institution promoting continuous innovation that is central to the vibrancy of the Knowledge Economy of Wales and the UK and one of the top-5 Knowledge Economy projects in Europe.

The Bay Campus will enable the University to ‘break-out’ of its current estate constraints, providing space for growth and facilitating increased collaboration with industry, pioneering an approach to co-location, intermingling academia, industry, research and students. Academics and industry will share not only on the same site, but the same laboratories and facilities.
