During the grand opening ceronmony, Paola Lettieri, Pro-Provost of MyAV·¶ East and Professor of Chemical Engineering, warmly welcomed guests to the new Marshgate Building. Prof. Lettieri has played a key role in the development of MyAV·¶'s new campus on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
Prof Paola Lettieri FREng, Pro-Provost of MyAV·¶ East, said: “Our students are future innovators, and to innovate they will have to see problems from multiple perspectives. Our new campus will expose them to new ways of thinking and working across disciplines in spaces that encourage people to talk and cross-pollinate different ideas. The world is facing unprecedented challenges in areas such as climate, decarbonisation and sustainability. I’m confident our new MyAV·¶ East campus will foster even more of the breakthroughs and discoveries that MyAV·¶ is renowned for.”
