Bournemouth: another University building under construction
Bournemouth: another University building under construction
Looking across the northern edge of Bournemouth Station Roundabout. As well as the subway leading pedestrians into the sunken centre of the roundabout, we see major construction on the far corner plot.

Bournemouth University has expanded exponentially in the last 10-20 years and has acquired much land in this area. As well as educational facilities are, of course, student halls of residence and this will be another residential suite. The bright yellow hoardings advertise the facilities, with shiny new rooms and associated services such as an on-site gym etc.

From July 2017, the construction work has necessitated closure of one of the two lanes exiting onto St Swithun's Road South, heading away from camera, as can just be made out. Two lanes should be restored fairly shortly.
