WMU Building Campaign 2013

WMU Building Campaign 2013
December 2, 2011 - 5:00am

In 2013, WMU relocate to a splendid new WMU building that will provide our students, faculty, researchers, staff and visitors the opportunity to work and learn in state-of-the-art academic facilities. Thanks to the generosity of the City of Malmö, WMU will move into a multi-purpose academic complex offering almost 5,000m2, of assignable area. This will allow our M.Sc. and Ph.D. programs to grow, alongside our Professional Development Course portfolio, and enable WMU to host international conferences at the University, so substantially expanding our service to the global maritime community in many new areas.

While the City of Malmö is generously funding the infrastructure – the building and its basic furnishings – we still need wide-ranging and generous support to enable us to provide state-of-the-art facilities. As a result, WMU is launching a major drive to seek donations that will allow the University to make critical investments to create a state-of-the-art maritime academic complex that offers the best possible learning environment for our world-class students and staff.

Friends of WMU - be they alumni, corporations, foundations or private philanthropists - are invited to support our new building through individual or corporate donations. Read more about our campaign in the brochure available below.
