The University of Southampton have created the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute (SMMI) at their Boldrewood Campus. This is a Maritime Centre of Excellence (MCE), and aims to be a world-leading centre for innovation, business and education in maritime engineering sciences and other relevant maritime disciplines at the heart of the Solent Maritime Cluster.
The development incorporates the Global Technology Centre, the University Engineering Centre of Excellence and a new institute for Marine and Maritime Research.
The 4.3 hectare site places the university at the forefront of maritime research through the co-location of the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute and research facilities supporting the Faculty of Engineering and the Environment. This unique collaboration ensures students and researchers have access to real life case studies. The £140m scheme is Grimshaw’s largest European university project to date and it includes the overall master plan and design of all buildings on the site.
