University of Gloucestershire puts historic 'Hogwarts campus' on the market to test interest
Überblick
The University of Gloucestershire has placed its historic Francis Close Hall Campus in Cheltenham, often called the 'Hogwarts campus', on the market to explore its long-term future and gauge market interest. The 19th-century Grade II-listed site requires significant investment due to an estimated £14m maintenance backlog, though the university stresses that putting the site on the market does not mean a final decision to sell or lease has been made.
