Civic Centre

Proposals for the fourth major new building for Coventry University designed by Broadway Malyan have been given the go-ahead.

Councillors have approved plans for a new postgraduate centre on the site of the former Civic Centre, opposite the Council House in the heart of the city centre.

The new six-storey scheme will restore part of the Grade II-listed former Civic Centre 2 and incorporate it into a purpose-built block that will create a range of high quality teaching spaces, a 350-seat public auditorium and 36 apartments for visiting academics.
