Putting people at the heart of the project

Eddington welcomes people from all over the world, and from all walks of life, into this vibrant, supportive new community.

The University works collaboratively with the local authorities, neighbours, stakeholder groups and partners to build a community and plan the future of Eddington, which will be home to a community of approximately 8,500 people when the scheme is fully realised.

In addition to the facilities at Eddington, community investment includes further contributions to education, community facilities and supporting officers, public realm, transport and connectivity. All of this aims to create a long-lasting and sustainable place.

At the Storey’s Field Centre the community can take part in everything from ballet to woodwork. There are dozens of new community groups open to both the general public and Eddington’s residents.

Based on-site, our Community Development Officers are here to help facilitate residents and visitors from getting the most out of their time at Eddington, and empower them to define their own community.

Contact our Community Development Officers with any questions you might have about getting involved or enjoying activities around Eddington.
