Stocker Road (outside Great Hall) Talk about Forum Project, Great Hall car park will be converted into a large plaza, Stocker road car parks will be converted into a student services centre for INTO students. Point out Great Hall, explain uses graduation, exams, balls, gigs. Alternative venues will be used whilst the forum works are ongoing. Point out Northcott Theatre. Point to buildings i.e. Amory, Cornwall House, Streatham Court (new building for the business school). A large part of Lafrowda will be demolished over the next three years and new accommodation will be built in its place. This is in addition to the 800 self-catered rooms currently undergoing construction at Birks Grange. N.B. It is likely that there will be many disruptions as a result of the extensive investment on campus. Please take extra care and ensure that you remain on foot paths. In addition, please read the regular “News in Brief” and “Building News in Brief” emails containing further updates. This is only a suggested route: obviously it is sensible to tailor the tour if there are only a few visitors who wish to see specific buildings / facilities. .

  • The University of Exeter<Br>
    News from the Universities The University of Exeter Initiatives in local, regional and community history The University of Exeter now operates on two separate campuses, Streatham Campus in Exeter and, since 2005, Tremough Campus near Falmouth, Cornwall. History at Exeter has expanded considerably in the last decade, partly as a result of the opening of the Tremough campus. There are now 27 full-time staff based at Streatham and another 10 in Tremough, with research interests extending from early Medieval Britain to post- Communist Eastern Europe. In the last five years there has also been a considerable intensification of activity in local and regional history, as History has sought to forge links with local community groups, institutions and other charitable and business organisations. In many respects staff at Tremough have taken the lead in developing these connections. A strong civic dimension has been developed within the History cluster at Tremough, with significant engagement with the Cornish community at a variety of levels. This was based initially on the long-standing work of the Institute of Cornish Studies, part of the University of Exeter but part-funded by Cornwall Council, and located in Cornwall well before the establishment of the Cornwall Campus. Since the early 1990s, the Institute has focused on issues of identity in modern Cornwall, which it has explored through a variety of methods—for example, biography, demography and oral history—and which has led among other things to the establishment of strong links with the overseas Cornish diaspora and to the publication of the annual volume Cornish Studies (University of Exeter Press).
