New Computer Science Hub Opens At Queen's
Queen's University in Belfast has opened a new Computer Science hub.
The university invested £14million in the development, which is supporting the expansion of computer science.
President and Vice-Chancellor of Queen's, Professor Patrick Johnson, commented: "This investment by Queen's is part of the University's £700m Capital Development Programme, which is transforming our campus and continuing to develop as a university that is a beacon of leaning and innovation.
"The colourfully-redeveloped Computer Science Building will allow the 1,000 students reading computing-related subjects to have access to state-of-the-art facilities. The impressive design fits the requirements of our world class University and supports our outstanding students and staff in conducting leading-edge education and research, focused on the needs of global society.
"This redevelopment would not have been possible without the support of our generous sponsors and donors; The Garfield Weston Foundation, First Derivatives and Allstate."
The hub spans four floors and includes labs and break-out spaces, providing a meeting place for creative learning and a new mode of teaching.
