We’re making changes to our university estate, so we can provide the best environments for our students to live, learn and socialise in, and support our net zero carbon ambitions.
At Falmer, we’ll be making changes to our Watson and Checkland buildings, as well as our sports hall. We'll also be refurbishing our newly acquired sports and fitness centre. These changes are helping get the campus ready for our School of Sport and Health Sciences which will be based on the campus from autumn 2024.
Education, teaching, nursing, diagnostic radiography, medical and paramedic science students are already on the Falmer campus, and they'll be joined by further health sciences students – midwifery, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and podiatry – and our sport and exercise students, creating a focused and creative community where you'll be surrounded by likeminded people who you'll learn with and from.
When the work is complete the School of Sport and Health Sciences will share the campus with the School of Education and Brighton and Sussex Medical School who are already based at Falmer.
