ºÚÁÏÉç

As a pioneer of the One Health approach, the Royal Veterinary College is forging important partnerships with leaders in human medicine and the social sciences. Our science is addressing some of the most important global challenges affecting the livelihoods of some of the poorest communities worldwide.

To enable this journey of discovery, we are developing facilities that inspire and promote collaboration between our scientists, clinicians and external partners, empowering our students to become the One Health leaders of the future, equipped to tackle the global challenges faced by society.

Hertfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership awarded the ºÚÁÏÉç a £7m grant to build this leading One Health Vaccine and Stem Cell research centre. Read more...

The £45 million development of the Hawkshead Campus is already underway and will bring together the research, educational and clinical aspects of our endeavours. Download our brochure to find out more...

 


 

Supporting us

You can be part of the ºÚÁÏÉç’s future

The Science for the Planet Campaign is aiming to raise £5million towards the costs of the new facilities at the ºÚÁÏÉç’s Hawkshead Campus. We were delighted to receive £1.25million from the Wolfson Foundation and £500,000 from the Garfield Weston Foundation as well as major donations from other Trusts and major donors.

We now need the help of our ºÚÁÏÉç Alumni community

At the heart of the new facilities will be a beautiful Atrium featuring the skeleton of Eclipse and a number of the ºÚÁÏÉç’s precious artworks. In addition to this will be a newly commissioned installation to thank those who have supported the Science for the Planet Campaign. Our ambitions are bold, and our beautiful new Donor Wall will celebrate all those who have enabled the ºÚÁÏÉç to get to this point and support the ºÚÁÏÉç into the future and our role at the forefront of the One Health approach. If you would like your name to feature in this installation and be part of the ºÚÁÏÉç for decades to come, we are asking for donations of just £20 per month for two years or a single donation of £500.

UPDATE: Thanks to the amazing response from our Alumni community, we now only have one place remaining on our beautiful Donor Wall. So please get in touch today to secure this place and THANK YOU alumni@rvc.ac.uk

This will be the entrance to the Veterinary Vaccinology and Cell Therapy Hub that will advance the One Health approach, accelerating the development of next-generation vaccines and cell therapies that will fight key animal infections and ultimately protect humans.

The east entrance is facing the back of the campus and will provide a linking corridor through to the clinical areas; particularly the Small Animal Referrals Hospital and the Equine Hospital.

West Entrance elevation
This shows the atrium and reception - a welcome space which will facilitate the interaction of different teams and individuals, stretching between the east and west lobby areas of the Hawkshead Campus buildings, connecting research and teaching areas with social areas such as a café, shop and reception spaces.
