Computer Science Building at Heslington East
In October 2010 we are moving to a new state-of-the-art, purpose-built, Computer Science Building on the University's Heslington East campus development.
There's never been a more exciting time to become part of the Department of Computer Science here at York. Over the Summer of 2010, we will be moving to a brand new, purpose built, state-of-the art building on the new Heslington East Campus, so that by October 2010, everything will be in place for our new and returning students.
This move will further improve our excellent facilities and provide us with more teaching rooms and computer labs, so that we can continue to offer some of the best Computer Science programmes in the UK.
Take a look at how our fantastic new building is progressing or find out more about the new Heslington East Campus development.
We'll keep putting updates on this page, so bookmark it to follow our building's progress!
Update on progress February 2010
Despite the snow and adverse weather conditions, work has continued on the Computer Science building, and we are still on schedule for moving in ready for the new academic year in October 2010. Here are some of the latest pictures from the site, where you can see that walls, windows and roofs are all now firmly in place!

building gives you an idea of the progress being made externally. |

View of the pod, which will house seminar rooms and a common room. The skylights will ensure plenty of natural light, and this photo shows more of the outside wooden panelling that will be in place. You will notice that the pod has come a long way since December, when it did not even have external walls!
The photo below shows the building length windows which will give natural light to breakout and kitchen areas.

The building is currently being weather-proofed, so windows are being fitted, ready for electrics and internal work to be started in the New Year. It's really starting to take shape inside, with some internal walls being put in and work starting on the glass atrium reception area. Here's some of the latest photographs from the site:
