The first images have been released showing what a town’s new £16m university learning hub will look like.
Work has been taking place all summer to strip out the former Palmers/Beales department store in Great Yarmouth’s town centre.

Facilities management for the entire building will be provided by Norse, and East Coast College (co-leaseholder) will be charged for use of the service. Upon completion, NCC will be a leaseholder of the ground and basement floors paying a peppercorn rent.

The five-storey building is poised for a new role as a library, learning, and university centre (LLUC). Alongside the relocated library the upper floors will become bases for the University of Suffolk (also a co-funder), East Coast College, and the University of East Anglia.
