Northampton prepares for official opening of new leather institute
The University of Northampton will officially open its new Institute for Creative Leather Technologies (ICLT), at Waterside Campus on September 18.

Team members from the university’s ICLT will show off the new facilities.

The new Institute for Creative Leather Technologies cost £5.5 million to build and, the ICLT has said, it will allow the university to bolster its reputation for delivering technical excellence in leather education, training and research.

The two-storey building includes a leather innovation lab, a tannery, testing and research labs, teaching space and a room available for commercial organisations to rent.
