日期：2023年11月20日，星期一北威尔士雄心委员会本周批准了雷克瑟姆大学企业工程与光学中心（eeoc）的完整商业案例。 这是一个重要的里程碑，该项目将提供一个专门的中心，用于光学、光子学和复合材料的研发、商业合作和技能发展，作为制造业的轻型替代品。 它还将整合氢作为替代燃料来源，促进工业的可持续发展。 该项目的一个关键部分是吸引对北威尔士的投资并创造当地就业机会，该项目预计将带来70至90个新工作岗位，并培训1000多人为未来提供创新解决方案。 该项目将在两个大学场地进行交付&位于圣阿萨夫的光学技术中心和位于雷克瑟姆的plas-coch校区。 北威尔士经济雄心委员会主席、cyngor-gwynedd的领导人、议员dyfrigsiencyn说：“我们很高兴企业工程和光学中心已经达到如此重要的阶段。 这是高价值制造业创新计划中第一个达到这一点的项目。 “毫无疑问，通过雷克瑟姆大学现有的专业知识，该中心可以推动低碳技术的产品开发。 在这个对脱碳和地区企业未来成功至关重要的时刻。 “现阶段的批准意味着该项目现在可以提前到2024年初在现场开始，北威尔士公司wynne建筑公司已经被任命为普拉斯科赫建筑的主要承包商。 整个地区的参与将持续到2024年，设施将于2025年秋季开放。 该项目是该校耗资8000万英镑的2025年校园战略的一部分，该战略致力于改善大学校园，确保学生能够获得最佳的设施和学习环境。 位于雷克瑟姆的plas-coch场地上的专用新设施将位于校园的中心，是作为令人兴奋的校园重建战略的一部分交付的第一个低碳项目，而位于圣阿萨夫的光学设施将进行关键的基础设施升级，以在实验室内实现紧密的环境控制。 雷克瑟姆大学副校长maria hinfelaar教授补充道：“北威尔士增长协议对企业工程和光学中心的投资是加强我们与该地区行业和主要雇主联系的关键一步。 “减少制造业碳排放和废物的迫切需要是众所周知的，潜在的成本和效率效益也是众所周知的。 然而，由于不断变化的技术可能会让许多人感到困惑，企业工程与光学中心旨在提供大学的设施和研究人员，帮助和支持企业开发和实施最佳解决方案。 图片说明：艺术家对eeoc的印象。 经济部长盖兴说：“很高兴看到这个创新项目作为北威尔士增长协议的一部分向前推进。 它将是该地区制造业的宝贵资产，也将有助于我们的脱碳议程。 在威尔士政府1.2亿英镑的支持下，这项增长协议有可能对北威尔士经济产生真正的影响。 很高兴看到当地公司wynne construction作为主要承包商，这是一个进一步的推动。 我期待着看到这个项目的发展并有所作为。 威尔士秘书大卫戴维斯说：“很高兴看到北威尔士经济增长协议在批准这一重要项目方面取得进展。 雷克瑟姆大学已经在这一领域进行了令人难以置信的研究和开发，我很高兴英国政府和我们的合作伙伴的资金可以用于创建新的设施，并在他们的专业知识基础上再接再厉。 “编辑笔记1。 北威尔士增长协议是对该地区经济的10亿英镑投资，其中2.4亿英镑由威尔士政府和英国政府资助。 two。

作为北威尔士增长协议的一部分，通过该项目，雷克瑟姆大学提议分别在雷克瑟姆和圣阿萨夫新建和翻新设施，以支持各种规模和子行业的区域制造业企业满足减少碳排放的迫切需求。 通过在加工和产品中引入新的轻质材料，如复合材料，以及基于微波处理塑料的先进低能耗制造技术，可以显著减轻重量，并减少制造过程中的大量浪费。 eeoc还将通过集成复合材料和光学器件，领导新产品的设计和制造，并对支持采用氢燃料的先进解决方案进行前沿研究。 在不牺牲安全或性能的情况下，可以显著减轻车辆和航空的重量，同时节省燃料。 six。 这两个工厂将整合最新的设备，并将与北威尔士和边境地区的企业合作，实施脱碳解决方案，提高所有制造业领域的可持续性。 企业将能够与该大学合作，在受控的环境中设计、制造和测试材料和组件。 这将导致产品和系统的效率更高，所需能源更少，从而降低成本和排放。 11英镑的资金。 正在寻求从增长交易中获得5500万英镑，再加上4英镑。 8700万资本匹配（邻近校园门户大楼的一部分）和1英镑。 700万现金匹配。 700万现金匹配。date: monday, november 20, 2023the north wales ambition board has this week given its approval to the full business case for wrexham university’s enterprise engineering and optics centre (eeoc). a significant milestone, the project will deliver a specialist centre for research and development, business collaboration and skills development in optics, photonics and composites as lightweight alternatives for manufacturing. it will also integrate hydrogen as a substitute fuel source contributing to sustainable practices in industry.a key part of the project is to attract investment to north wales and create local employment, with between 70 and 90 new jobs projected as a result of the project, and more than 1,000 people trained to deliver innovative solutions for the future.the project will be delivered across two of the university sites – the optic technology centre at st asaph and the plas coch campus in wrexham. councillor dyfrig siencyn, chair of the north wales economic ambition board and leader of cyngor gwynedd, said: ‘’we are pleased that the enterprise engineering and optics centre has reached such an important stage. this is the first project within the innovation in high value manufacturing programme to reach this point. “there’s no doubt that the centre through the expertise which already exists at wrexham university can drive product development in low carbon technologies. and this at a time which is so critical to decarbonisation and the future success of regional businesses.”approval at this stage means the project can now move forward to start on site early in 2024, with north wales firm, wynne construction already appointed as the main contractor for the build at plas coch. engagement across the region will continue throughout 2024, with the facilities due to open by the autumn of 2025. the project forms part of the university’s £80m campus 2025 strategy, dedicated to improving university campuses, ensuring that students have access to best facilities and learning environment.the dedicated new facility on the plas coch site in wrexham will sit at the heart of the campus and is the first low carbon project to be delivered as part of the exciting campus redevelopment strategy, while the optic facility in st asaph will have critical infrastructure upgrades to deliver close environmental control within the laboratories. professor maria hinfelaar, vice-chancellor at wrexham university, added: “investment from the north wales growth deal for the development of the enterprise engineering and optics centre is a key step to enhance our links with industry and key employers across the region. “the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and waste from manufacturing is well-known, as are the potential cost and efficiency benefits. however, as ever-changing technology can be confusing for many, the enterprise engineering and optics centre aims to provide the facilities and researchers from the university which will help and support businesses to develop and implement the best solutions.”photo

be a valuable asset for manufacturing in the region and will also contribute towards our decarbonisation agenda. the growth deal has the potential to make a real difference to the north wales economy, backed by £120m from the welsh government. it’s good to see a local company, wynne construction, as the main contractor which is a further boost. i look forward to seeing this project develop and make a difference.”welsh secretary david tc davies said: “it’s great to see progress with the north wales growth deal approving this important project. wrexham university already does incredible research and development in this area, and i’m delighted that funding from the uk government and our partners could be used to create new facilities and build on their expertise.” notes to editors1. north wales growth deal is a £1 billion investment to the region’s economy, £240m of which is funded by the welsh government and uk government.2. the north wales economic ambition board is the decision-making body for the growth deal and is a partnership between the six north wales local authorities and the region’s educational institutions.3. ambition north wales is the organisation responsible for delivering the north wales growth deal.4. full business case is the final investment decision once a project has completed all necessary consenting and procurement activity. it follows approval of the outline business case.5. as part of the north wales growth deal, through the project, wrexham university proposes new and refurbished facilities at wrexham and st asaph, respectively, to support regional manufacturing businesses of all sizes and sub-sectors in meeting the pressing and vital need to reduce carbon emissions. by introducing new lightweight materials such as composites to processing and products, along with advanced low-energy manufacturing techniques based on microwave treatment of plastics, significant weight reductions can be achieved, and substantial waste reduced in the fabrication process too. the eeoc will also lead the design and construction of new products through integration of composites and optics, and leading-edge research into advanced solutions supporting the adoption of hydrogen fuel. significant weight reduction of vehicles and aeronautics, with concomitant fuel savings, can be achieved with no safety or performance sacrifice, and there.6. both sites will integrate the latest equipment and will collaborate with businesses throughout north wales and border regions to implement decarbonisation solutions and increase sustainability across all areas of manufacturing. businesses will be able to partner with the university to design, fabricate and test materials and components within a controlled environment. this will lead to products and systems which are more efficient and require less energy, reducing costs and emissions. funding of £11.55m from the growth deal is being sought, matched by £4.87m capital match (part of the neighbouring campus gateway building) and a £1.7m cash match. .亲，点击此处在线申请留学咨询服务和报名评估！我们将竭诚提供最佳评估服务！
