The University of Derby’s new £70m business school, located in the Cavendish Building on Agard Street, is preparing to open its doors in September. The seven-storey building will offer a variety of modern facilities, including teaching spaces, laboratories, a virtual reality suite, and a stock market financial trading room, catering to thousands of students in the coming years.
Construction on the building was completed on 29 July, with final preparations underway to ensure readiness for the student intake. In addition to its educational offerings, the building will also support small businesses and start-ups, providing space for innovation and collaboration.
The new facility is part of the university’s broader vision to foster industry partnerships and enhance learning opportunities for its students, positioning the business school as a key asset in the region’s development.
