A £500m university campus could bring in a wave of start-up entrepreneurship to Bristol, its bosses are hoping.
The University of Bristol’s Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus is being built next to Temple Meads railway station and is due to open in September.
As well as being a base for 4,600 students and 650 members of staff, the site will be home to the new Bristol Innovations Zone, which the university says has been designed to provide start-ups with the support they need to thrive.
“It really says to the outside world that finally, after 180 years, Temple Meads is at the centre of the city,” said Matt Griffith, Business West’s director of policy.
