Boldrewood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boldrewood is the Biomedical Sciences campus of the University of Southampton, England. It is home to the School of Biological Sciences which encompasses the degree titles Biology, Zoology, Biochemistry, Biomedical sciences, Pharmacology, Physiology and Nutritional sciences among others. It is also the non-hospital base for the School of Medicine. This campus is also home to a large research facility for the Biological Sciences.

In April 2006, the University announced plans to develop a 'professional campus' on the Boldrewood site, relocating its present occupants to Highfield campus in 2007. The site is intended to house the Marine services division of Lloyd's Register who have announced a strategic alliance with the University [1]. The campus will also be the new home of the School of Management. At the same time as this announcement plans for the new Life Sciences building to be built on the main university campus in Highfield were unveiled. This building is to be located behind building 32 in the University Crescent area and the destruction of the university owned houses currently on the site has already begun. The lecture theatres (apart from lecture theatre 5) in Boldrewood were closed in the summer of 2007 and it is planned that all of the staff will move to the new building in 2010. The new building will not contain any lecture theatres to replace those in Boldrewood. Instead all lectures will take place in other buildings around main campus.
