Back to news
The Most Reverend and Right Honourable Dr John Sentamu Archbishop of York has officially opened the £3million, state-of-the-art, Tucker Building at the University of Chester’s Warrington campus.
Dr John Sentamu was joined by other distinguished guests, including local stakeholders and the former Principal of Warrington Collegiate Institute, Hilary Tucker, after whom the building is named.
Signalling one of the latest stages of the ongoing multi-million pound campus redevelopment, the Tucker Building, which houses the campus’ Business Centre, has been majority funded by the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA), which contributed just over 80 per cent of the cost.
Boasting the most up-to-date computing equipment, the Building is home to excellent teaching facilities for students studying courses within the Faculties of Business, Enterprise & Lifelong Learning, Applied & Health Sciences and Social Science. It also provides a focal point for businesses in Warrington and the sub-region, offering a wide variety of support services.
During his visit, the Archbishop was also awarded an Honorary Doctor of Theology from the University, in recognition of his work with the Church of England furthering education and international development.
