Work is under way on Keele University’s new teaching, learning and community space in the heart of Newcastle-under-Lyme town centre.
Located on Ironmarket, Keele in Town will be a gateway where residents, community groups and businesses can collaborate with experts at the University and benefit from new learning and support opportunities.
The development will bring the previously empty 19th century building back to life as a mixed-use venue that will also feature a cafe. It will be a space where:
- Newcastle-under-Lyme residents and eligible businesses will be able to access a range of free digital support opportunities;
- Community events, such as art exhibitions, can be held;
- Keele students and staff can work flexibly;
- People and businesses can access free legal advice on certain areas of law from Keele’s Legal Advice Clinics;
- Small groups and businesses can meet and stage presentations.
