Enhancing the Creative Knowledge Base of Cornwall (University College Falmouth)
The ERDF Convergence Programme is supporting the construction of a new Performance Centre which will accommodate additional students and provide facilities for further courses following the merger of University College Falmouth and Dartington College of Arts.

The bulk of the investment will be used to provide new, specialist buildings including multi-purpose studios and performance venues for theatre, choreography and music at the Tremough Campus.
On 22 May 2009 the foundation stone was laid and the building is expected to open in October 2010 when it will accommodate a wide range of courses including Creative Music Technology, Dance Performance and Theatre Design & Production.
“The Performance Centre is the tangible manifestation of our merger with Dartington College of Arts, and its construction is an exciting prospect that will make a significant difference to the next generation of Performance students. This exceptional new facility and the dynamic range of new courses that will be offered there pave the way for a new specialist Arts University in Cornwall by 2012/13 that will be unique in the South West.”Professor Alan Livingston, Rector, University College Falmouth
