26 ideas for uni campus future
Carmarthen Journal
|April 30, 2025
NEARLY 30 different suggestions for the future use of Lampeter's university campus have been made after the decision to end undergraduate teaching in the town - but concerns have been raised about the "secrecy" of what exactly is being proposed.
Graduates have issued a plea to reveal what proposals have been mooted after it emerged that 26 suggestions have already been made on what should happen to the Lampeter campus after all university teaching is controversially axed this summer.
University of Wales Trinity St David (UWTSD), which is transferring courses to its Carmarthen campus, has asked people to come up with alternative uses for the campus.
The Lampeter Society, an alumni group which opposed the loss of university education after 200 years in the town, has submitted one of the proposals but says it would also like sufficient time for it and other stakeholders to assess the other schemes.
