Your NEW Compass Building: Opening September 2026!

We are very excited to welcome students to the brand-new Compass Building on our Bournemouth Campus, an investment in the future of learning and innovation in the region. 

Opening to students in September 2026, the Compass Building will provide an advanced, high-tech teaching environment designed to inspire students across a range of exciting subjects:

• Business
• Catering and Hospitality
• Digital and Computing
• Hair and Beauty
• Media
• Sport
• Travel and Tourism

In addition to its advanced teaching facilities, the building will offer a range of amenities designed to benefit both students and the wider community. These will include the new Escoffier restaurant, fitness suites and a professional salon. 

Alongside this, heritage restoration works are taking place on the Grade II listed Clock Tower. The iconic structure is undergoing sensitive repairs to preserve its historic character, while upgrading its functionality for future use. 

The scaffolding surrounding the Clock Tower is due to be removed early in 2026, revealing the restored façade and marking a major milestone in the redevelopment.
