About the Campus
White City Campus is where great ideas grow.
A platform for innovation, entrepreneurship and multidisciplinary research, Imperial’s deep tech campus sits at the heart of the White City Innovation District. With a £2 billion investment, Imperial is transforming White City to create a 23-acre innovation-focused collaborative campus.
Today, it is home to the Molecular Sciences Research Hub, the multidisciplinary Sir Michael Uren Hub and Imperial’s School of Public Health, which are co-located with over 100 pioneering companies across Scale Space and I-HUB. Scientists and clinicians push the boundaries of discovery, working together with businesses – large and small – to turn innovation into real-world impact.
White City Campus will be a world-leading centre for innovation, designed to fuel discovery, collaboration and enterprise. This ambitious project will help put the UK at the forefront of breakthroughs in science and technology. Around 1 million square feet is already built or under construction, and we’re now working on the next phase. When complete, more than 25,000 people will live, work and study here.
