The new Creative Arts building, located at the edge of the Civic Quarter of Leeds, is the final phase of delivery of the Downing Developments masterplan – a 46,400m² development that most recently delivered the Cityside student accommodation scheme.
The 14,500m² scheme is set to house 1,850 students studying film, music, performing arts and fashion, whose campus is currently spread across the city.
The development will include a 186-seat theatre, an 84-seat studio theatre, a 216-seat cinema, recording studios, TV studio and film studios, as well as other teaching and breakout spaces.
