A state-of-the-art home for the Institute of Communications Studies will be officially opened this week by University of Leeds Vice-Chancellor Professor Michael Arthur.
The new £4.4m facility will be housed in Clothworkers' North, which was part of the original Yorkshire College, making it one of the most modern facilities in one of Yorkshire's oldest buildings. The new complex holds 41 edit suites, a newsroom, TV and radio studios and a 60 seat cinema. The building covers just over 3,000 square metres and includes 50 staff offices, as well as dedicated study rooms for Masters and PhD students. Professor Michael Arthur will attend the official opening of the ICS building on 19 January, which will be marked with a ribbon cutting ceremony and the unveiling of a plaque. Guests will also be invited to view a sample of students' work. The ICS is one of the largest departments of its kind in Europe, and an internationally renowned centre for teaching and research in communications, media and culture. Professor Arthur said: "This fantastic facility is a magnificent addition to our great campus.
