Learn more about The Wave

We commissioned this video with HLM Architects to showcase the new Faculty of Social Sciences building which was officially opened on the 20th November 2023.

As well as being the most sustainable building on campus, The Wave brings together students, staff and the wider community and encourages collaborative thinking, working and socialising.

See how the Wave helps bring the community together

Each month, Weston Park Cancer Charity visit the Wave for their coffee mornings. A stones throw from the hospital, the Wave Cafe has become a welcoming space for providing a key service to the local community, and it's been a real pleasure to offer this facility to connect and socialise.
