The very model of a merger
Article Abstract:
Many challenges had to be addressed when Loughborough College of Art and Design, a teaching monotechnic with a strong emphasis on specialist areas of art and design, became a school of Loughborough University, England, in 1998. The college was determined to retain a clear identity, as it did not require the merger for financial or academic reasons. The merger is regarded by both institutions as having created valuable opportunities for combining creativity, technical expertise and facilities.
