New entrance at Bristol Temple Meads is finished – but won’t open until Enterprise Campus does

The new Eastern Entrance at Bristol Temple Meads railway station is complete, but won’t open to the public until the University of Bristol’s Enterprise Campus does.

Following ‘practical completion’ of the entrance, Bristol Temple Quarter has handed over the site to the University of Bristol, which will continue work on the Enterprise Campus for the next two years.

The new entrance is one of three new entrances to the station funded by £94.7 million of government funding secured by the Temple Quarter partners in 2022.

It will connect Bristol Temple Meads to the new University of Bristol Enterprise Campus. Both buildings are set to open in Autumn 2026.

By 2030, 2.5 million people a year will use this entrance.

The Bristol Temple Quarter is a partnership between Homes England, Bristol City Council, West of England Combined Authority, Network Rail and the University of Bristol.
