The University of Exeter is seeking views from the public over plans to redevelop its St Luke’s Campus.

Lecturers, students and the public will be invited to share their thoughts on plans to create a 'world-leading' centre of health and wellbeing.

The plans will boost health-related education and research, directly benefiting the local community, a spokesperson for the university said.

“Over the last decade, we’ve built an outstanding reputation for our health and wellbeing research and teaching which has provided benefits on a regional, national and international scale," Professor Richard Smith said.

"As we continue to grow our strengths in this area we need to ensure our facilities are modern, suitable and sophisticated so we can progress our research into tangible benefits and to train the next generation of change-makers."

The public engagement event will take place on Thursday 16 November from 13:00 to 20:00 GMT on the first floor of Cross Keys, St Luke’s Campus.
