Bristol Temple Quarter is undergoing one of the largest regeneration projects in the UK, transforming the area around Bristol Temple Meads into a thriving hub for innovation, business and education.
At the centre of this transformation is the University of Bristol’s new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, set to open in 2026.
For students planning to study in Bristol, Timber Yard will be perfectly positioned to take advantage of everything this new district has to offer.
A New Campus for the University of Bristol
The Temple Quarter campus will bring together world-class teaching, research and collaboration spaces for several major academic departments.
The new campus will be home to:
- The University of Bristol Business School
- The Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship
- The School of Computer Science
- Electrical, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering
- Engineering Mathematics and Technology
This new academic hub will attract thousands of students and researchers to the Temple Quarter area, helping create one of the most exciting university districts in the UK.
The development has recently been highlighted in regional coverage, including a BBC Points West feature, which explored how the campus will transform the surrounding area and drive investment across Bristol.
Living Just 10 Minutes from the New Campus
For students living at Timber Yard, the biggest advantage will be proximity.
Located on Silverthorne Lane, Timber Yard sits just a 10-minute walk from the new Temple Quarter campus.
This means students can easily walk to lectures, study spaces and university facilities without needing to rely on buses or long commutes across the city.
A New Student Neighbourhood in Bristol
The Temple Quarter regeneration will create a completely new part of the city designed for collaboration, creativity and innovation.
Timber Yard will sit right at the heart of this growing neighbourhood, giving residents easy access to both the new campus and the wider city.
