A new teaching and learning centre, known as the Church Lane Building, has been unveiled at the University of York<\/a>, following a transformation by ENGIE<\/a><\/h2>\n

Students returning in September will benefit from six new teaching rooms, 80 office spaces and multiple breakout areas, as well as a brand new caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Sustainability has been central to the project, with the use of \u2018green walls\u2019 covered in reindeer moss to improve environmental wellbeing<\/a> and air quality, while at the same time absorbing acoustic energy to suppress noise.<\/p>\n

Other energy-efficient features include LED lighting to showcase the modern interior and keep lighting costs to a minimum.<\/p>\n

Sustainable transport options are encouraged with the provision of electric vehicle charging points<\/a>, while those cycling to campus can leave their bikes in one of many green-roofed cycle shelters aimed at boosting biodiversity by doubling up as a habitat for insects and bees.<\/p>\n

Transforming places and supporting partners<\/h3>\n

Sean Corcoran, regional director at ENGIE, said: “These new state-of-the-art facilities reflect York University\u2019s reputation as one of the best in the country, and will really enhance the students\u2019 learning experience when they return in September.<\/p>\n

“This project has been a great opportunity for us to combine our expertise in transforming places and supporting our partners on their zero-carbon journey, and we\u2019re really proud of the space we\u2019ve created.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s certainly got the \u2018wow\u2019 factor, and we hope the students enjoy using it as much as we\u2019ve enjoyed creating it.”<\/p>\n

Kevin Whelan, director of estates operations at the University of York, added: “The University is continually renewing its estate for the benefit of students, staff and partners.<\/p>\n

“The new Church Lane Building is a fantastic addition in an ideal location between our east and west campuses offering students and staff the perfect place to learn, teach, work and socialise.”<\/p>\n
