St Luke's Campus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coordinates: 50°43′23″N, 3°31′02″W St Luke's Campus is a small university campus which is part of the University of Exeter. The School of Sport and Health Sciences, School of Education and Lifelong Learning and the Peninsula Medical school are all based at St Luke's.

St Luke's is also home to the Children's Health and Exercise Research Centre (CHEREC). The Centre, part of the School of Sport and Health Sciences, was awarded the Queen's Anniversary Prize for higher education in recognition of its eminence in paediatric physiology. This made CHEREC the first receiver of the award in sport science research.

In 2006 it was announced that the University was considering closing the campus. A decision will be made in 2007 when the results of a feasibility study are presented to the University.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Second World War bomb damage

St Luke's unfortunately suffered a direct hit during a Nazi bombing raid on Exeter that destroyed a large part of the original building. The stone work has been rebuilt and is clearly visible due to a change in the colouring of the brick work.
