The University of Wolverhampton's closure of some campuses is seen as a necessary adaptation to the evolving educational landscape. While the loss of facilities like the sports centre and Telford campus is lamented, the university's focus on providing open space and establishing a medical school in Wolverhampton is praised as beneficial for both the city and the NHS.
Star Comment: University shake-up is about adapting to changing times in education - not preserving architectureInnovation Campus will be another major blow to a county still reeling from the loss of the Chester University's teaching centre inis in the business of providing education, not preserving interesting architecture.
Some students will miss the sports centre, but the prospect of Wolverhampton getting its own medical school is an opportunity too good to miss. It will be a huge boost not just for the city, but for the wider NHS which desperately needs a new generation of doctors. Its closure of the Telford campus comes as a shock, but is a symptom of the need to ensure a secure future – now the challenge is for leaders in the town to use that space well.
As vice-chancellor Prof Ebrahim Adia points out, the university has been around, in one form or another for the best part of 200 years. But in a fast-moving world, no educational institution can afford to stand still, and the university should be commended for adapting to changing times. Our region needs the University of Wolverhampton. It fulfils a valuable service in opening up higher education to thousands who may not otherwise have the opportunity.Here's when banks are set to shut in three Shropshire towns as Lloyds announces closure of 136 branches nationwide
