Set to open in the coming weeks, UCLan’s Engineering Innovation Centre (EIC) is a £35 million facility, part of a larger £50 million programme. Highlighted as a flagship investment project within the LEP economic plan, the EIC will exploit our location at the heart of one of the most important centres for manufacturing and engineering in the UK.
