Matthew Montague Architects are working with the University of Derby to develop a masterplan for a city centre hub. The masterplan is the vision for how the University intends to develop its city centre footprint and improve connectivity between its sites including the Enterprise Centre, Markeaton Street, Kedleston Road and various student accommodation.

The Masterplan aligns with the University’s long-term Estates Strategy and consultations with University stakeholders have been taking place over recent months.


The vision is that the city centre hub will be the base for Business, Law and Social Sciences including commercial and enterprise functions.


The plan will broadly be divided into two distinct but complimentary areas, the student zone and the enterprise zone. The student zone encompasses the various sites along Agard and Ford Street. Centred around the new business centre, the enterprise zone will predominantly include sites around Bridge Street, Nuns Street and the Enterprise Centre.


Matthew Montague Architects have prepared the concept design for the new hub encompassing new buildings, existing buildings and the change of use of existing buildings and spaces, including new teaching spaces, retail units, cafes, bars, social and green spaces, offices and gym.


The concept for the design focuses on simplicity, vibrancy, safety and sustainability. It draws on Derby’s industrial heritage and uses it to create a modern environment, keeping spaces open and lively during the day and into the evening.


The masterplan will link the city centre hub to the Kedleston Road site, Markeaton Street Campus and Britannia Mill with pedestrian and cycle pathways and transport links with a focus on sustainability and innovation.


The plan has been created to be flexibly phased over the period of 10-15 years, it is expected that a planning application will be submitted to Derby City Council for planning permission later in the year.

I read the article about the weekend weather for October 20th on ODG, and it gives a good sense of autumn conditions in the Lake District. While it looks like it will be a bit cooler and cloudier, there’s still a chance for drier periods — perfect for walks and outdoor activities if the weather avoids heavy rain or storms. The article notes that it may be possible to avoid the worst effects of storms and enjoy the weekend mostly without serious weather problems, though higher elevations could be windy and chilly. This is useful information for anyone planning trips, hikes, or outdoor time, as warm clothing and waterproof shoes will be helpful, but in some areas the weather may…

Great interview, but if I'm being honest felt more like 'why I'm still a Calvinist' than 'Christian'. I respect that Kristen's faith tradition is important to her, and she can obviously share to the level she feels comfortable with and no more, but this was a very intellectual conversation. I'd have appreciated hearing more about Kristen's personal faith in Jesus Himself and why that is not shaken despite the attacks she's endured. kids bjj gi
