Project Update: Ridley 2 Postponement

Unfortunately due to a shortfall in strategic funds, we are having to postpone the Teaching and Learning refurbishments works planned for Ridley Building 2, originally due to commence May 2022.

We’re disappointed to bring you this news however, Ridley 2 will remain a key space highlighted in our Teaching & Learning Refurbishments programme and we will aim to deliver this project next academic year, between May –  September 2023.

We’d like to thank all the students and staff that engaged with our consultations, both in-person and through our online surveys. We gained invaluable knowledge of how these spaces currently perform and where they are falling short of your expectations. All of this information has been collated and will remain the key motivator for decision making in our future design proposals for Ridley 2 Level 1.

Look out for further project updates of our Teaching & Learning Refurbishments that will still be going ahead this year including: KGV1 AV Improvements, Armstrong 3.38 refurbishment and Merz Court Teaching Rooms improvements.
