Highfield is part of Southampton’s civic fabric. It is the first step in a wider programme and is the first phase that addresses immediate priorities as part of the Estates Masterplan.
We aim to support pride in our campus, our area and our wider role in the city by investing our place in the city.
Works will be conducted in two phases the first between the start of July and end of August and the second at the start October and run until the end of November.
