Unversity extension bid
A UNIVERSITY facility which has worked with Formula 1 motorsport and the Great Britain Olympic cycling team wants to build a two-storey extension.
Southampton University bosses want to add to The RJ Mitchell wind tunnel building at the Highfield campus to boost its trailblazing capability in testing aerodynamics.
The extension will include a separate visitors’ viewing gallery, a new changing room for people entering the test bed and space for presentations and exhibitions.
Planners will decide whether to give the go ahead on a provisional date of September 10.
