The Manchester Engineering Campus Development (MECD) is unrivalled in scale in the UK as a hub of engineering and material science expertise, as it combines Manchester’s heritage as the birthplace of the industrial revolution with new purpose-built facilities that will deliver a step-change in our approach to solving some of the world’s most pressing issues. On any given day, 5000 students may use the building for taught activities, accessing the student support hub, along with extensive use of computer clusters and informal learning spaces. As well as this, 2,000 staff call MECD their home and use the workspace and research areas to collaborate with colleagues.
