We're closely connected to our former lands, which encompass educational settings, parkland and housing.
Since the 1980s, two university campuses have thrived at Fern Barrow, renowned for art and design, media, and technology.
Bournemouth University
Bournemouth University’s award-winning Talbot Campus houses many of its facilities, including the Faculty of Media & Communication, the Faculty of Science & Technology, the Doctoral College and much more.
The university also now includes a secondary campus in the Lansdowne area of Bournemouth town centre.
Arts University Bournemouth
Neighbouring Arts University Bournemouth is home to Bournemouth Film School and the Innovation Studio. It’s a leading sector-specialist arts university for the creative industries with a strong maker culture.
Slades Farm Park
Our former estate now includes community assets like Slades Farm Park, home to Active Dorset, a charitable organisation aimed at enhancing physical activity and sport.
Slades Farm Park includes a velodrome, skate park, playground, and Pavilion café.
