The Copperas Hill site was acquired by the University in 2011. The former Royal Mail sorting office is a
classic 1970s building and sits on a prime city centre site behind Lime Street station.
In 2013, the University announced plans to redevelop the site as part of a vision to develop a connected
campus by locating all students and staff in the city centre. Copperas Hill will be the heart of the
University and a front door to the Knowledge Quarter of the city. It will be pivotal in the regeneration of
the area surrounding Lime Street resulting in the creation of improved streetscapes, upgraded
highways, landscaping and new open spaces. This event will provide an opportunity to hear from the
client and design team about their innovative plans and will be followed by chance to visit this historic
site.
