New Building at Emm Lane Now Open!
The School of Management has developed this site in an exciting and innovative way in order to join together a number of the current buildings and provide new, state-of-the-art learning resources at the heart of the new integrated structure.
The student experience is at the forefront of our thinking regarding the planning and design of the new building. We want everyone who works here - staff and students alike - to have first class facilities within a physical space that melds the best of historic Victorian and modern architecture into an interconnected space where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
The new building for the Emm Lane area of the campus:-
- Provides leading MBA teaching facilities
- Provides a centralised resource centre and library
- Integrates the law library with the business and management library
- Provides new teaching and office space
- Improves staff facilities, and
- Creates a new atrium space for eating, drinking, socialising and working as the focal point of the whole campus
The Emm Lane building has always been an educational building. It was built as the Congregationalist Airedale College in 1874-1877, becoming the United Independent College in 1888, and subsequently part of the University of Bradford. The new development has allowed the continued successful use of the building and campus as an educational establishment - an appropriate continuation of its original purpose, and fitting for one of the UK's longest established business schools.
One of the main principled underpinnings of the new site is the 'Ecoversity' concept, which seeks to embed principles and practice of sustainable development. For example, the new build maximises daylight and minimises solar gain; solar panels provide water heating; use of a biomass boiler instead of the existing gas boiler minimises the carbon element of energy use; and there are additional cycle storage facilities and showers; electric car charging facilities; improved access for disabled people; and 'live' public transport information. The new building was completed in January 2010 and is now open.
