Loughborough University at iCITY, Olympic Park.

Olympic Park Velodrome

My recent trip to the Olympic Park was so great that I have felt inspired to write about the construction taking place to structure the park for students. Focusing today on Loughborough University as it is to establish an academic campus, offering postgraduate and executive education, at iCITY on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.

The development is due to open in 2015. The university is a leader in research and innovation. The campus will entertain business and management, media and communications, digital technologies and sport.

Professor Robert Allison, Vice Chancellor of Loughborough University, said: “This is an outstanding opportunity for Loughborough to diversify and expand the high quality education it offers to both postgraduate students and those looking to advance their professional development.

“It will also provide the University with opportunities to further enhance its pioneering research and innovation that help to drive social change and boost prosperity. Loughborough prides itself in doing research that matters and makes a difference. Our new site in London will underpin this important aspect of the University’s endeavour, in parallel with new taught programmes.”

The new campus will support the UK’s flourishing creative and digital industries. It is fantastic to see such developments taking place in the UK, let alone the Olmpyc Park. It seems that some countries do not use the Olympic space which they have spent millions to create, so I am proud to have our Olympic space being used for educational purposes.
