Your campus is changing

CSM Campus Futures is a building programme to improve our spaces and bring all our community fully under one roof. This is a long-term investment in how students will study and make at CSM, with more space, better-designed facilities and a campus that works as one. Over the next 5 years, we’re creating new studios, workshops and shared spaces. Some existing spaces will change or close temporarily while that work happens.

This page brings together what's changing, how long it will take and how you can access facilities.

Media space

We are expanding into the neighbouring Western Transit Shed, adding 17,000 sq ft of space across its first and second floors. As part of this work, the first-floor Media Space will be updated and reconfigured.

Until mid-February 2027, there will be some reduced access and temporary closures in this area.

Studio access and equipment is still available. Film studio E118 remains open, with booking priority for final-year students. Editing, sound and equipment access will continue, managed by the Technical team into suitable spaces to ensure continuity of timetabled teaching and events.

Technicians are available in person and online to help with your projects. Email the Technical team: filmvideounit@csm.arts.ac.uk

Letterpress

We have relocated the Letterpress Workshop to a new and improved home at the heart of CSM's Graphic Communication Design programme. You will find the Letterpress in a larger and newly designed space in K201A, on the second floor of K block.

What's next for the old room? E301 will become a teaching space for S School.

Technicians are available in person and online to help with your projects. Email the Technical team: letterpress@csm.arts.ac.uk

Theatre Assembly Workshop

We are creating a new floor in the Loading Bay by the Canopy Market to expand workshop spaces in the building. This means that until January 2027, the existing Loading Bay operations will move temporarily to the Theatre Assembly Workshop (N001).

Alternative access, such as to the 3D workshops, will be carefully managed by the Technical Team to ensure continuity of teaching. The Platform Theatre will remain open and available throughout this academic year for ongoing teaching, learning and assessment, and performance practice.
