UWIC has begun its investment of more than £50 million into major estates developments which will greatly improve learning and teaching, research and enterprise and support facilities at the University.

A pioneering new Food Industry Centre, which is set to be at the forefront of supporting the food industry and improving food safety, has been launched at UWIC. The centre will make an impact on the knowledge economy through applied research, knowledge transfer and the provision of graduates and postgraduates with the skills demanded by employers. It will also help food businesses to put in place the robust processes they need to meet global food safety standards. It will also support the food industry through providing state-of-the-art new product development and testing facilities including the first Sensory Suite in Wales where new food products can be taste-tested under strictly controlled conditions.

Opening in Autumn 2010, The Cardiff School of Management building is set to become one of the top facilities in the country for teaching and research. The new school will be an international destination, attracting students from across the globe.

It will boast two lecture theatres with seating for up to 200 students and three additional Harvard-style lecture theatres complete with air-conditioning, audio visual systems and state of the art IT network suites. There will also be formal and social learning spaces, as well as research and enterprise facilities.
