Construction begins on University of Salford Acoustics Centre

Work has begun on a world-class acoustics building at the University of Salford, set for completion mid-2027. This cutting-edge facility, part of the £2.5bn Crescent Salford masterplan, will transform innovation at the Salford Acoustics Innovation Institute.

Researchers will explore everything from AI-powered hearing aids that enhance music to reducing noise from heat pumps.
