Page "Manchester Metropolitan University" Paragraph 8

The University was located on seven sites of which five were in Manchester ( All Saints, Aytoun, Didsbury, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Hollings ) and two were in Cheshire ( Alsager and Crewe ) and has begun to ' rationalise ' its estate with a view to reducing the number of sites to two.

The University has already moved the work of the Alsager campus to Crewe and rebranded this campus MMU Cheshire.

The Aytoun campus will be closed during 2012 when the new Business School opens on the All Saints Campus.

As of 2011 the University is engaged in a £ 350 million investment programme which will involve the largest physical change to its estate since the University's foundation.

The two remaining campuses should provide improvements in the student experience, greater efficiency and further engagement with the local community.
