Corridor have installed a two by four metre digital screen on the side of Mabel Tylecote building MMU. This screen is there to make the public more aware of corridor and of the history and culture behind this area. At the moment they are showing 1960 archive photos.

 

"With funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the screen will be strictly non-commercial and will promote the Corridor’s five main priorities for the Oxford Road area; employability and skills, research and innovation, transport, environment and infrastructure and pride in the area."

"Anything from scientific research to images from graduate fashion week could be put on the screen to bring the institutions along Oxford Road to life for the hundreds of people who pass them every day.The screen will also be used specifically to raise awareness of sustainability and environmental issues and keep the public up to date with how the partnership is working together to reduce carbon emissions across the Corridor area."
