Chancellor Floella Benjamin opens University reception by Imogen Blake, News Editor
Chancellor of the University of Exeter, Floella Benjamin, revealed the University's new reception area in an official opening ceremony on Friday, 28 October.
Officials from Exeter were taken on a tour around Streatham campus to see newly completed buildings on campus, including the INTO Academic Centre and the Business School’s Building One.
The tour gave the officials a taste of what the campus will look like once the Forum Project is completed. The Project is part of a £275 million investment into Streatham campus.
The first phases of the Forum project are now complete, with two refurbished library levels, a piazza outside the Great Hall and the new reception. Students have also moved into newly built accommodation in Birks Grange, Lafrowda and Duryard.
Baroness Floella Benjamin said: “We believe this state-of-the-art reception will help provide a new focal point within the heart of campus being created by the Forum Project. It is really exciting to see the new facilities which include informal meetings spaces and information screens where students can meet and interact with each other as well as members of staff from across the campus.
“It is no doubt reassuring to both present and future students, as well as parents, that the extensive building developments on campus illustrate they are entering a world class University which is in good health in what remains a difficult financial climate for so many organisations”.
