A university has submitted plans for a "state-of-the-art" anatomy centre.

The University of East Anglia (UEA) said its existing anatomy suite - within the Queen's Building - has been in operation for more than 20 years.

UEA said a new facility, which it hopes to open in April 2025, would offer "increased capacity for teaching" at undergraduate, postgraduate and specialist training levels.

If approved, it will be built as an extension to the Edith Cavell Building.

UEA said the new anatomy suite would provide "flexibility to react to technological changes in teaching methods," and "be compliant with essential updates to health and safety legislation and embalming methods".

The new facility will provide an anatomy teaching space, seminar rooms and "improved preparation areas for both staff and students and associated storage and academic office facilities".

UEA said it would offer "significantly more and desperately needed space for innovative teaching and practical skills development supporting growth in the NHS workforce."
