The Place University Centre- Great Yarmouth

A capital fund for part of a much larger investments from the University of Suffolk and other partners. Launching in 2025, The Place will be a University of Suffolk hub in the heart of Great Yarmouth town centre and a big development for the East Coast College campus. East Coast College is a founding partner of the University of Suffolk and is continuing to develop its campuses with the opening of The Place.

The £18m library and learning centre, which is being developed in the former Palmers building, aims to upskill the people of Great Yarmouth and beyond by providing the opportunity to gain a degree qualification on their doorstep. Having invested in this major project, East Coast College and the University of Suffolk are working together to provide an exceptional university centre with outstanding teaching as well as state-of-the-art facilities. The new centre brings in the opportunity for East Coast College to increase their degree offer and bring even more people into the regenerating Great Yarmouth town centre. This will add to the degree-level courses currently delivered at the college’s Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth campuses, including Higher National Certificates and Diplomas, Foundation Degrees, Honours Degrees and Post-graduate studies. The building will also be occupied by Norfolk County Council library services, Norfolk Adult Education, and Norfolk Registrars services
