Keele in Town, opened in January 2025, is a new chapter in the history of the University, where an empty 19th century building has been transformed into a mixed-use facility. The building is a space where Staffordshire businesses and non-profit organisations can shine, along with areas for Keele students and staff to get together, to study, and to connect with the community.
Keele University in the heart of Town
The three-storey building, located on Ironmarket, is kitted out with modern working and meeting spaces, offering digital connectivity to the community, and helping to drive productivity and boost skill levels in the area.
Connecting to the Community
Offering digital connectivity and driving productivity and skills, Keele in Town offers adult courses delivered by Newcastle and Stafford Colleges Group, legal advice clinics and MPFT digital training drop-in sessions.
The centre has also hosted several key events including a photo exhibition by Kevin Hayes, a session for International Day of Women and Girls in Science and a Business Innovation Clinic as part of Newcastle-under-Lyme’s Shaping the Future Business Festival.
