Guided tour of the Daphne Steele Building

Are you curious to have a look around the new Daphne Steele Building on campus and learn more about how it has been built and operates? Come and join us on a guided tour!

The building is the first to open on the new National Innovation Health Campus, and only a handful of buildings in the UK to be Pre-Certified with the prestigious Platinum WELL Building Standard. This is a standard that enhances the building user’s health and wellbeing and focuses on the building being built with natural materials and operating sustainably, over ten separate concepts.

The building is named after Daphne Steele, the UK’s first Black Matron, who emigrated from Guyana in the 1940’s. The Daphne Steele Building is the first of the exciting project that will help to improve health outcomes and lead innovation in healthcare for the North of England. It will bring together public-facing facilities including award-winning student-led clinics, and be a focus for entrepreneurial academic activity, serving the regional and wider health economy in strong public-private partnerships. Specialist clinical teaching facilities will provide unparalleled support for workforce development.

The next tour is on Tuesday 30 September 2025 and will last 60 minutes and run from 12.15pm to 1.15pm. Please meet at the Daphne Steele entrance area.
