WINCHESTER University is seeking public feedback on a proposed new landmark building on a main road into the city.

The university is proposing a new learning and teaching building at its West Downs site on Romsey Road.

A public exhibition and presentation will be held on Wednesday November 2.

The university believes the project presents an exciting opportunity to create an impressive addition to Winchester’s civic buildings at the main gateway.

The contemporary design, which will be built on existing green space, includes a 250-seat auditorium, art gallery, café, food hall, library, social learning areas and teaching spaces.

The development will provide state-of-the-art facilities to improve the quality of teaching space and meet the changing demands of higher education.

The university is inviting local people to view and give feedback on the designs and talk to the project team between 4-7pm in the Link Gallery, West Downs Centre, Romsey Road.

A short presentation will follow at 7.15pm in the Shakespeare Room.

Views expressed will contribute to the formal pre-planning application consultation. It is expected that the planning application will be submitted in early December.

All are welcome to come along to the exhibition and presentation and there is no need to book.
