In September 2010 the department moved to a brand new building on Campus East. This move further improved the experience for students by providing more teaching rooms and computer labs meaning we can continue to offer some of the best computer science programmes in the UK.
Facilities
As part of the £185 million first phase of Campus East, the Department of Computer Science now occupies a purpose-built building on the lakeside. The building comprises software and hardware teaching laboratories, departmental staff offices, research laboratories and a variety of interaction spaces. A large glass atrium welcomes all who enter the building.
Project sponsors
The University has been fortunate in securing some £17.5 million from the European Regional Development Fund in Yorkshire and the Humber. The funds, managed through Yorkshire Forward, provide £15.5 million for capital development on Heslington East and a further £2 million supporting two University biodemonstrator research projects. The investment forms a critical part of a major £19.4 million infrastructure project sponsored by Science City York, enhancing links between York's world-class science base and industry.
