The University of Derby has been officially handed the keys to The Cavendish Building – the new state-of-the-art home of the Derby International Business School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Located in the heart of the city centre, The Cavendish Building is set to offer inspirational teaching in a setting to match and will help to establish the city as a destination of choice for students, academics and industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The seven-storey building features cutting-edge facilities including a Google-style creativity lab, a finance lab for budding investment bankers, complete with Bloomberg and London Stock Exchange Group terminals, a logistics lab, a creativity lab and an XR suite to create an immersive learning experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now the construction has been completed by Kier Construction, the final touches will be undertaken by the university, ready for students starting in September.<\/p>\n\n\n

Professor Kathryn Mitchell CBE DL, vice-chancellor and chief executive of the University of Derby, said: \u201cWe are delighted to be one step closer to opening the doors of our Cavendish Building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is an incredibly exciting time for the university as this new landmark building will serve as a dynamic hub where industry, students and academics come together to drive innovation and shape a better future for society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDesigned for applied learning and pioneering research, the new space will foster collaboration and empower industry and academic partnerships for impact across the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With small businesses and start-ups set to be co-located within the building, complementing the University of Derby\u2019s links with global organisations such as Rolls-Royce, Toyota Manufacturing UK and the NHS, The Cavendish Building will also act as a go-to hub in supporting its ambition to be the \u2018University for Industry\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dr Nicola Lynch, head of Derby International Business School, said: \u201cOur priority from the outset was for The Cavendish Building to be a central hub where students, academics and industry co-locate, co-create, share knowledge, gain skills and collaborate to help solve some of the world\u2019s biggest challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe look forward to further strengthening our business partnerships and to continue developing a blueprint for how universities can work effectively and meaningfully with industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tony Shenton, regional director of Kier Construction Eastern & Midlands, said: \u201cHanding over this world-class business school building is a major milestone, and we are delighted to celebrate it with the University of Derby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe new Cavendish Building is cutting-edge, bespoke in its design and is a testament to Kier\u2019s skills and experience in delivering modern and sustainable learning environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis flagship building will serve as a hub of collaboration and learning, benefitting the staff, students and local community for decades to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
