Planning permission for new UWE studios
A new state-of-the-art studios for UWE’s Bower Ashton campus has been given planning permission.
The studios, providing industry standard production and post production facilities for students studying film and journalism programmes, will take 16 months to complete.
Alex Gilkison, dean of the Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education, says: “The new studio facilities will support the Faculty’s ambition to develop a modern, digitally-enabled studio campus close to the heart of Bristol’s creative and digital economy.
“The Faculty has partnerships with BBC, Watershed, Encounters and Wildscreen Festivals, Aardman Animations, M Shed, Spike Island and Arnolfini. These links are central to the Faculty’s practice-oriented strategy where students learn in industry relevant settings and with industry partners.”
The new building will provide facilities for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes across a range of art, design, film and journalism disciplines. As well as the new studios, a second building is planned that will provide new art and design facilities for all students within City Campus.
