The Master Plan for the urban harbour areas includes two massive structures, known as bastions, which are intended to frame an urban harbour basin where Pier 1 is currently located.
The northern bastion is intended to be used as an Education Centre, which will house the School of Engineering and the School of Marine Engineering.
Originally, the School of Architecture was due to move into the same building, but they have had to withdraw for financial reasons.
Instead, work is underway to establish an international research centre for wind turbine technology in the remaining space.
There are currently no final plans regarding the design, nor any firm timetables, but the School of Engineering is up for sale, so sooner or later something will have to happen.
