The new Waterside Campus, opening in September 2018, will provide state-of-the-art academic facilities for 15,000 students, additional residential facilities for 1,200 students and leisure facilities open to the local community. The innovative £330m Waterside Campus will transform a 58 acre brownfield site in Northampton’s Waterside Enterprise Zone. The area is in close proximity to the town centre, a short walk away through the town’s Cultural Quarter and past the University’s St John’s Halls of Residences, opened in 2014. See [watersidecampus.info](http://www.watersidecampus.info/) for further information.

The strategic partner should also provide measurable and substantial opportunities to students and staff which add value and contribute towards the mission of the University to transform lives and inspire change.
