The University of York has paused its £35 million Student Centre project for at least three years as it grapples with a loss-making financial situation.

The University of York has paused its £35 million Student Centre project for at least three years as it grapples with a loss-making financial situation, as well as its student numbers dropping for the first time in years.

The move comes as the university reports a deficit of £24 million in the 2022/23 year. The scheme that was due for completion in 2025 was set to be a new home for both the university’s student unions and front line student support services as well as much more.

The University of York has blamed the ‘pause’ on increasing costs facing the university sector, forcing it to re-evaluate its immediate investment priorities.
