Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh visited the University of Exeter’s Streatham Campus to officially open The Forum development.

Thousands of people from across the region gathered for the visit which formed part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee tour.

Completed by the company earlier this year, The Forum has transformed the heart of the Streatham Campus.

The development provides a new student services centre, an extended and refurbished library, new technology-rich learning spaces, a 400-seat lecture theatre, retail and catering outlets, a landscaped piazza and a new university reception.

University of Exeter Registrar and Deputy Chief Executive David Allen said:

“This remarkable new development will provide so many facilities and opportunities for everyone associated with the University of Exeter, for many years to come.”
