south of the administration building was opened in 2005 to house a new Student Services Centre and a new building for the Institute for Sound and Vibration Research was constructed in 2006 among the Engineering buildings. The Jubilee Sports Centre and the Student Services Centre were both designed in brick to blend in with the nearby residential and Gutteridge designed buildings. In 2005 a fire broke out in the Mountbatten building, causing the ECS department to be crippled until replacement facilities could be found. As a result, the University needed to replace the building as soon as possible and took the opportunity to create a new campus masterplan, set to last until 2021. The new and replacement Mountbatten building was opened in 2008 and included new and updated clean rooms while still being an environmentally friendly design. The master plan also included the new EEE building, which was opened in 2007 as a space for ECS, the School of Education and as an Entrance building for the campus and features a glass wall showcasing an 'internal street'. The latest building to be added to the campus is the Life Sciences building, housing facilities for the Faculty of Natural and Environmental Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine. Designed by global architecture firm NBBJ, the wood-clad building was created as a direct result of the Boldrewood Campus redevelopment and the need to rehouse the faculties based on that campus. Completed in 2010, it has been recognised by the Royal Institute of British Architects. Location The campus is located in the Highfield area of Southampton and is bordered by Southampton Common along its western edge and Burgess Road on its northern edge. It is dissected by the north/south University Road, splitting the campus into East and West sections. The area surrounding the campus is mainly residential in nature. The campus is served by the Unilink U1, U2, U6 and U9 routes that connect the campus to the Airport, Wessex Lane, Glen Eyre and other halls of residence, the City Centre and the University's satellite campuses at Southampton General Hospital and the National Oceanography Centre. All routes stop at the Unilink interchange in the centre of campus. In addition to the Unilink services, the interchange is also served by National Express Coaches 032 and 203 to London and Portsmouth.
