Aberystwyth University's Old College redevelopment a step closer

The project includes plans for an official opening during the university’s 150th anniversary in 2022

A multi-million pound redevelopment project in Aberystwyth could move a step closer this week.

Plans have been put forward to transform Aberystwyth University's Old College into community facilities, including exhibition space, artists' studios and a cafe/restaurant.

The project also includes developing its Assembly Rooms and other university buildings in the area.

A public consultation event will be held at the Old College on Tuesday.

Speaking ahead of the consultation, the university's Pro Vice-Chancellor Dr Rhodri Llwyd Morgan said the vision was to develop the Old College into "a dynamic hub of learning, heritage and culture".
