Contracts signed for work to begin on University of Bristol’s new world class campusPress release issued: 3 April 2023
Work on the University of Bristol’s new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus – a total investment of around £500 million - will get underway next month after the University signed contracts with construction company Sir Robert McAlpine.
Opening in 2026, the campus at Cattle Market Road, next to Temple Meads Station, will enhance the University of Bristol’s reputation as a global destination for world-leading research, education and innovation.

Plans for the site were revised in light of the pandemic, which not only paused the development due to its impact on the construction trade, but also shaped the University’s vision for the campus. As a result, timelines have been adjusted and some of the spaces in the main building have been redesigned to allow greater flexibility and digital innovation for the future.

...With a refurbished Bristol Temple Meads station at its heart, the area will become a world-class gateway to Bristol and the West of England. With a new entrance opening directly onto the campus, it will also join the city centre to the east of Bristol with new walking and cycling paths.

The last paragraph quoted could be misunderstood: the Eastern Entrance to Temple Meads just gives access to the station. A new pontoon walkway will however improve access towards Friary and area to the west of the station.
