Colleges, new universities and institutions based in London have won the lion's share of special funding to improve poor facilities. HEFCE will fund 41 projects totalling Pounds 93 million over the next three years.
About a third of the institutions got the maximum award of Pounds 4 million over three years. Rose Bruford College, for example, will receive this sum towards the costs of relocating to a single campus.
King's College London will get the same amount towards a new library and IT centre at its campus on the Strand.
In general, institutions have been offered about half the costs of refurbishment.
