What the project is for
Manchester Digital Campus (MDC) will deliver two large office buildings on a brown field site in Central Manchester for 8800 FTE; it will collocate digitally focused departments in a central location as a Government Hub. MDC is a transformative programme that will create a Civil Service community centred on digital skills and the growth potential of the sector in the North West economy. MDC will foster greater cross-government collaboration and enable role relations into Manchester through Places for Growth.
