Peninsula Dental School - Capital Build (University of Plymouth)
The Convergence Programme is investing in the Peninsula Dental School, the first new dental school in the UK for 40 years to widen education and research opportunities in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. This investment has supported the construction of a four storey extension at the Knowledge Spa on the site of the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro.
Peninsula Dental School
What?
The extension houses:
- The Cornwall teaching clinic of the new Peninsula Dental School
- Research facilities for the development of internationally relevant research themes and
- Clinical academic office accommodation for the Peninsula Medical School.
This will allow the development of an internationally relevant research programme with strong links to the local business community and facilitate the delivery of new undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programmes.
The ERDF Convergence Programme is also investing in the development of research facilities at the new Peninsula Dental School.
Who?
The University of Plymouth is the applicant for this investment which will be delivered by Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry (University of Exeter and University of Plymouth), and the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust.
"The Peninsula Dental School in Truro will further widen the education and research opportunities in this region. This research can be used to stimulate business innovation and growth. It will also complement the research and business incubation facilities already on offer at the Knowledge Spa" Carleen Kelemen, Director of the Convergence Partnership Office for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly
