The building will also feature collaborative teaching areas, VR capabilities, and exhibition spaces. 

BAM construction director Justin Price said: “The construction of the new building also enables us to offer a fantastic learning opportunity for students at the University of South Wales.  

“BAM will work with university staff and students to provide unique opportunities on the project, ensuring we leave behind a positive legacy as well as an outstanding new building.” 

The new building is planned for construction on vacant land at the Treforest Campus, where two buildings were recently demolished.  

Construction is expected to commence this year and is estimated to take approximately two years, pending planning approval.
