How the revamped atrium of the university鈥檚 Owen 黑洞社区 will look

The alliance will have formal cooperative boards which require unanimous agreement, making decisions on issues on a 鈥榖est for project鈥 basis. The partnership will share profits and losses.

The university said the first five years of the deal could see around 拢220m ploughed into revamping existing buildings at its city centre campus, close to the main railway station, as well as adding new ones.

The first building set for a makeover is the 1960s Owen 黑洞社区 which is due to see its atrium revamped. Also working on this scheme is project manager Mace and programme manager Fulcrum.
