The new home for Carnegie School of Education
I'm delighted to announce the new home for Carnegie School of Education will open to students in September 2024. This new building will provide high quality teaching and research facilities for all our staff and students.
Through careful consultation, Caedmon Hall has been refurbished to create a sustainable, inclusive, and accessible environment for our education community. Here, students and staff can learn, research, and collaborate in spaces designed to help them achieve their best.
Supporting the education community
Our new home will help improve the lives of children, young people, lifelong learners, and families by providing a cutting-edge environment to develop exceptional, socially aware, and responsible members of the children’s and education workforce.
The new space will inspire students and staff to develop agile solutions to social issues that can be delivered through the educational workforce, through flexible and collaborative workspaces.
Our new home will become a base for educators in the region, to build meaningful partnerships for the benefit of children, young people and families everywhere.

Our facilities
Our new home features a university seminar classroom which combines a traditional lecture theatre with more intimate tutorial scenarios, to accommodate flexible teaching methods. It also has communal social and study areas, brand new conferencing facilities and a number of flexible high-spec teaching and learning areas. Including the following bespoke spaces:
- Science Laboratory – complete with the latest state-of-the-art equipment.
- Art and Design room – bespoke facilities designed to maximise the range of possible activities.
- VR / Augmented Reality Lab - state-of-the-art specialist area for the practice, development and delivery of immersive technology in education.
- Early Years Room – carefully designed for early years teaching.
- Primary Maths Space – designed to be flexible and support the delivery of high-quality teaching and learning.
These dedicated spaces will allow our team to innovatively deliver accessible, inclusive, quality education and promote lifelong learning for all.
We look forward to welcoming our students, staff and partners to Caedmon Hall – the new home of Carnegie School of Education from September 2024.
