About Connected Campus

The Connected Campus programme is transforming the University of East London into one of the UK’s most dynamic and future-focused university environments.

Led by the Projects and Estates Development Team, this multi-million-pound investment has already delivered over £120 million of transformation, with a further £300 million planned over the next five years. Together, we are creating a connected, sustainable, and inspiring university fit for the next generation of learners, innovators and industry leaders.

Connected Campus is more than a building programme – it’s a bold reimagining of how a university can shape opportunity and impact through its spaces.

Across our Docklands, Stratford and University Square campuses, we are:

  • Creating landmark spaces for learning, collaboration and community that foster innovation, creativity and wellbeing
  • Blending digital and physical experiences, using technology to connect people, ideas and environments in new and exciting ways
  • Championing sustainability – designing low-carbon, energy-efficient buildings that support UEL’s journey to net zero
  • Investing in east London’s future by opening up opportunities for partnerships, enterprise and local engagement

From new academic buildings and modern student accommodation to revitalised outdoor spaces and digital upgrades, Connected Campus is shaping a new era for UEL – one that connects ambition with place, and learning with the world beyond the classroom.

Learn about the Health Campus
The new Stratford Health Campus Academic Building including state-of-the-art lecture theatres and teaching spaces.

The University of East London is investing in a major redevelopment of its Stratford campus, creating a cutting-edge Academic Health Building and a 677-bed Student Village. Designed with community, sustainability and collaboration at its heart, the new campus will support healthcare education, student wellbeing, and local partnerships across East London.

Hospital and Primary Care Training Hub – Phase 2

View a virtual simulation of the new Hospital and Primary Care Training Hub, due to be completed by summer 2025.

The extensive refurbishment of the Hospital and Primary Care Training Hub (H&PCTH) is about to commence with work to prepare the building for construction already underway and planned for delivery by summer 2025.
The refurbishment will result in a cutting-edge training facility featuring:

  • A virtual reality room for lifelike medical simulations
  • Tech-enhanced active learning and teaching (TEAL) zones
  • Real-time medical procedure broadcasting technology
  • Expanded teaching areas
  • A Rehabilitation Gym
  • An Operating Theatre Suite

While access to parts of the H&PCTH Building is restricted during construction across Semesters A and B, additional classrooms will be set up in the CC Building. These additional facilities will be ready for use in September, in time for the new semester.

The CC Building will also be the temporary host for the exciting new Anatomage tables delivering cutting-edge health training technology to our students.

This high-tech piece of equipment provides students with a life-size 3D model of the human anatomy which they can view, dissect, and explore. It comes complete with access to over 1500 real-life cases with accompanying medical notes and 2D scan data which they can then render on the table.
