UCL and UCL East

UCL is consistently ranked among the top 10 universities in the world.* Since 1826, it has championed independent thought and broken boundaries in research to make a positive impact in London and across the globe. It was the first university to welcome students of all faiths, or no faith, and the first to educate women on a fully equal footing with men.

UCL’s new university campus, UCL East, is the next chapter in our disruptive thinking and the biggest development in our nearly 200-year history. Located on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, it will give us the scale and space we need to continue our disruptive thinking and find solutions to the biggest problems facing people and the planet.

When fully open, around 4,000 students and 700 staff will work together and collaborate with local communities and businesses in cutting-edge new research centres specialising in ecology, robotics, AI, urbanism, culture, assistive technology, engineering, culture, heritage and health.

UCL East’s One Pool Street base, opening in the autumn of 2022, is full of multidisciplinary
research labs and studios with a lecture theatre doubling as a cinema, a shop, café and accommodation
for more than 500 students.

Marshgate, which is opening in the autumn of 2023, includes eight floors of hi-tech research labs, workshops, collaboration spaces, a library and a café.

Our UCL East campus will be accessible, sustainable and open to the public, with community engagement and exhibition spaces, and specially commissioned art by local artists for everyone to enjoy.

UCL East is part of East Bank, London’s new culture, education, innovation and entertainment district, a legacy of London 2012.
