ISTeC
The Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Centre (ISTeC) based at the Clifton Campus.
The Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Centre is used for chemistry, biosciences, sport science and computer science.
This impressive facility is the result of a £13m investment from the government and NTU in recognition of the importance of STEM teaching. The building contains state-of-the-art laboratories for teaching biosciences, chemistry, computer science and sport science. All teaching and learning spaces will be equipped with the latest IT and Wi-Fi technology.
"This investment will mean world-class teaching facilities to build tomorrow's skilled workforce."
Vince Cable, former Secretary of State, Department for Business, Innovation and Skills
