Welcome to STEAMhouse
STEAMhouse is one of the newest buildings on our expanding city centre campus and the home of our Computing courses. It is a vibrant hub for technology, innovation, enterprise and collaboration, bringing together students, academics and businesses to work on real-world, industry-based projects. The space provides outstanding facilities for teaching, learning, prototyping and business development, as well as opportunities to engage with partners across multiple sectors.
In addition to supporting students, STEAMhouse also offers workspace for businesses located at the heart of the City Centre Campus, encouraging collaborative partnerships with the University. It plays a key role in driving innovation and research across the West Midlands, helping to develop solutions that support long-term economic growth.
Welcome to STEAMhouse, the new home of Computing and Digital Technology. Let's take a look around. STEAMhouse has many teaching rooms across four floors which are open and mouldable and offer agile learning. This is Challenge Hub, STEAMhouse's major event space. Many external and internal guest speakers have been invited to STEAMhouse sessions - just in this very room such as the Mayor of Birmingham, the Vice Chancellor, guest speakers and the Chambers of Commerce. There's also been many cool events such as Careers Fair and Innovation Fest. It's a great opportunity for students network with local businesses and professionals, right next to where you'll be studying. This is STEAMhouse's production space it's used by local businesses to print, prototype and manufacture products. It's a great opportunity for students to network with business professionals, especially if they're aspiring entrepreneurs. This is the co-working space where businesses can meet, network and collaborate. It's in the heart of STEAMhouse right next to the Business Incubator and the teaching rooms. This is the STEAMhouse incubator, home of many businesses with their own office space. Being so close to teaching facilities opens up so many opportunities for students to get involved. This is one of STEAMhouse's innovative classrooms which offers open spaces for you to learn. There's also lots of comfy study areas for you to come and catch up on your work. Just look at this amazing environment.
