Plans have been submitted to build a world class research and development centre close to the Parkinson Building in the centre of Leeds.

The University of Leeds has submitted plans for its proposed Integrated Campus for Engineering and Physical Sciences (ICEPS).

ICEPS would be a multi-disciplinary teaching facility with resources for research and student education in the engineering and physical sciences disciplines.

The new building would encompass new lab spaces specifically for the high specification equipment required to undertake modern research and enable growth in these areas.

ICEPSis a flagship development at the University of Leeds and represents part of the ongoing investment and improvement of the institution.

The new university buildingwould consist of a new six storey (plus a basement) building and the refurbishment of and new roof to the grade II-listed Old Mining Building.

The building would contain the highly technical laboratory, postgraduate research spaces, undergraduate teaching and academic offices.

The design and access statement said: "The Integrated Campus for Physical and Engineering Sciences is a unique and exciting opportunity at the University of Leeds.

"The project will deliver state of the art and exemplary facilities capable of supporting the longterm development of physical, bio-nano, computing and engineering sciences through enhanced educational and research facilities.

"This will enable a step change in achieving the universitys ambitions of world-class research and student education through the delivery of a flagship development."
