A two week online survey is being carried out to gauge views about the centre, which will include the award-winning 3D printing firm Photocentric as its anchor tenant.

The consultation comes before the Combined Authority of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough submits the plans for the £16 million Manufacturing and Materials Research and Development Centre to Peterborough City Council later this month.

Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough James Palmer said: “I am really excited to see these proposals unveiled and it is important we get the views of residents, businesses and community groups ahead of submitting our planning application.

“The plans detail how we will bring our plans to an employment-focused university to life, so we hope people will please visit the website and have their say over the next two weeks.”

The university will open in 2022.
