Penryn Campus

[1] Located on a site bought in 1998, the campus was developed via the Combined Universities in Cornwall (CUC) scheme with finance from the EU and the UK Government and was opened in 2004.

The campus was developed as part of the Combined Universities in Cornwall (CUC) initiative and was officially opened in 2004.

[4] The campus is the home of Camborne School of Mines and the Institute of Cornish Studies, both of which are departments of the University of Exeter.

The Environment and Sustainability Institute (ESI) is a £30 million research centre with a remit to find solutions to problems of environmental change.

Two further buildings were completed for the 2012/13 academic year: The Environmental and Sustainability Institute (ESI) at the very top of the campus, and the Academy for Innovation and Research (AIR) towards the northern entrance.

The Tremough Innovation Centre (TIC) is a three-storey building on land acquired by Cornwall Council adjacent to the Campus.

It is responsible for the overall maintenance of the site including the gymnasium, catering services, bars, shops and the student accommodation with profits going back to the two institutions.

[8][9] For the first time in 2012/13 a limited amount of accommodation, both on campus and at Penryn Station, was made available to returning students further into their degrees than first year.

"Koofi," a new cafe situated on the back of the Porter's Lodge building in Glasney Parc, opened to students in October 2010.

Some of the sports teams are run under the Camborne School of Mines name despite players not being exclusively CSM or University of Exeter students.
