Dr. Bhikhu Patel, a University of Bristol alumnus, and his wife Shashi have generously donated £1 million to support the creation of the University’s new Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus (TQEC). This transformative campus will integrate business education with world-class science and engineering research, focusing on digital innovation and challenge-based learning. It aims to foster collaboration between students, industry partners, and local communities.

Bhikhu Patel, an architect and successful entrepreneur, credits his education at Bristol for his success and has long been committed to supporting education and philanthropy. In addition to the campus donation, the Patels will fund scholarships through the Bhikhu and Shashikala Patel Student Support Fund to help financially disadvantaged students.

The new campus is set to position Bristol as a global hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, offering opportunities for students, businesses, and local communities to thrive.
