Technology Centre at University Of Southampton

Lloyd's Register and the University of Southampton, UK, have agreed to move forward with the GBP116-million first phase of the university's technology and training campus, designed to provide industry with the technical solutions and human expertise it requires to support an increasingly complex world.

At the heart of the agreement is a shared vision to create a long-term centre of excellence for technology, innovation, research and development and training based in Southampton, home to one of the world's leading academic research institutions.

"Today is an exciting and historic day for Lloyd's Register and our colleagues at the University of Southampton. We have been brought together by the mutual belief that sustainable industries will be increasingly driven by the need for new technology and expertise to meet the demands of society and emerging regulation," said Richard Sadler, Chief Executive, Lloyd's Register.
