Plans
According to the university, £186.5 million has been invested into its campus and surroundings in recent years, with the aim of " students the most inspiring working environments and access to industry standard, state-of-the-art facilities". These developments include;
- Art and Design Buildings:
- Plans are in progress for a brand new dedicated Art and Design building on the edge of the River Soar.
- Health Centre:
- The university has sold land on Grasmere Street to allow space for a brand new Health Centre. This is still in the planning stage but will provide a full health care service for both students of the university and the local community.
- Public Squares:
- The current buildings of the Gateway site are to be demolished, creating a new public square and improving the area. This will link with other public squares across the campus, and new landscaping, lighting, street furniture and public art structures will create a 'one campus' feel and a vibrant and pleasant place to study.

Famous quotes containing the word plans:
“The important thing about travel in foreign lands is that it breaks the speech habits and makes you blab less, and breaks the habitual space-feeling because of different village plans and different landscapes. It is less important that there are different mores, for you counteract these with your own reaction- formations.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
“When I heard at the close of the day how my name had been receiv’d
with plaudits in the capitol, still it was not a happy night for me
that follow’d,
And else when I carous’d, or when my plans were accomplish’d,
still I was not happy,
But the day when I rose at dawn from the bed of perfect health,
refresh’d, singing, inhaling the ripe breath of autumn,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“I have no plans to call on you, Clarice. The world’s more interesting with you.”
—Ted Tally, U.S. screenwriter, and Jonathan Demme. Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins)
