THE former office block tower at Plymouth railway station has been transformed into a £33m health campus which will welcome students from next week. Now named InterCity Place, the building, with its “halo of light” already illuminating the night sky, will be the training centre for the next generation of health professionals.
The University of Plymouth has transformed the 11-storey former InterCity House office block into a facility to train and develop nurses, midwives, allied health professionals, optometrists and social workers. Within the building students will hone their skills in new teaching facilities using a range of health technologies and digital innovations.
The development is part of a university investment of almost £100m in teaching and learning that also includes cutting-edge engineering and design facilities in the new Babbage Building on the main campus. The transformed buildings will welcome new and returning students from September 2023.
Work on the InterCity Place project has been led by the Kier Group, which also constructed the university’s £17m Derriford Research Facility, opened by Princess Anne in May 2018. Kier arrived on site in October 2020 with the main work starting in April 2021.
