The new Computer Science building

Our new Computer Science building is part of the Heslington East campus expansion. The new campus expansion includes four academic departments: Computer Science; Theatre, Film and Television; the Management School; and the Law School. Two other facilities are also sited on this campus: Goodricke College has new accommodation blocks for students, and the Ron Cooke Hub is a 24 hour building, with space for students to study as well as entrepreneurial space, that allows students and staff to work with local businesses and also encourages the incubation of spin off companies from students and staff.

Our facilities

The move has allowed Computer Science to enhance our facilities for both students and staff. We house several dedicated undergraduate and postgraduate software laboratories, as well as two hardware laboratories.

Our building also houses several research labs, including the Interactive Home Laboratory - where the Human-Computer Interaction research group undertake much of their research, along with their multi-disciplinary partners.
