The University of Ulster's Belfast campus - formerly known as the Art College - is currently getting a fresh new image, thanks to a £30m upgrade. The Sixties-inspired Warwick Building, which stands next to St Anne's Cathedral, has been replaced with spacious, contemporary architecture in which a lobby can literally turn into a gallery. Belfast commuters will already be familiar with the curved Perspex London Eye style tunnel which traverses Royal Avenue, linking the Sixties relic to the more austere 1930s Orpheus Building. But this is just the first phase of an ambitious three-tier project aimed at taking the city centre campus into the 21st century. And it is hoped the innovative new building will literally lay new foundations for the centre of Belfast.
