Liverpool's new teaching suite nears completion
£10 million investment in its vet school almost finished

The University of Liverpool's £10 million investment in the development of its veterinary school is nearly completed, with staff set to move in for the start of the new academic year.

The redevelopment will mean students can benefit from a larger teaching suite on the city centre campus, new facilities for the small animal practice and enhanced research facilities at the Liverpool Science Park. The school will also be rehomed at the Thomson Yates Building, which has been redesigned to provide offices, a social learning zone for students, 'hot desk' space for staff, a committee room and an open space for staff and student meetings and events.

In addition, a first-opinion small animal practice is being built close to the site of the veterinary school's existing practice and a new pathology suite is being developed at the Leahurst campus.

Susan Dawson, head of the veterinary school, said: "We're really excited about the move to the new teaching suite, the facilities are superb and will give our students a modern and flexible learning space designed to support world-class veterinary education."

She added: "The move increases teaching capacity which will enable us to meet growing demand for courses."
