The University of Manchester has signed an agreement to build a 326-bedroom hotel and a teaching centre at its Manchester Business School. There will be a new two-storey Executive Education Centre alongside the hotel, which will provide a home for the business school’s corporate management programmes.

The development is part of the University of Manchester's £1bn campus master-plan along its Oxford Road corridor.

The hotel, the only one on the university grounds, will comprise 16 storeys of bedrooms above three levels of hotel facilities including a bar, restaurant and conference space.

As well as providing accommodation for the business school and university the new hotel will also service nearby facilities such as the Manchester Science Park and the Central Manchester University Hospitals.
