University of East London's New Academic Building

About the project

The University of East London’s (UEL) New Academic Building will provide state-of-the-art teaching, learning, and research spaces, designed to inspire the next generation of medical and healthcare professionals.

Subject to GMC approval, it will become home to medical education as part of a suite of healthcare courses. The facility will play a central role in expanding access to healthcare education and supporting the growth of the regional health workforce.

Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2026, with completion expected in summer 2027, ready for the start of the new academic year.

Designed to achieve the highest sustainability credentials, the New Academic Building is targeting BREEAM Outstanding certification – placing it among the most environmentally responsible university buildings in the UK.
