The Local Growth Fund, along with some commercial funding will go towards meeting the cost of the research facilities in the new building.
Once completed and operational, the resulting highly qualified engineers to be trained at this facility, will meet the demands for staff in the local area and contribute to advances in manufacture and environmental technologies.
