Closure of the Textile Conservation Centre
The Centre's supporting Trust, the TCC Foundation, has for some months been discussing the possibility of transferring elements of the Centre's work to the School of Archaeology, University of Oxford. Although there were many benefits to be gained from such a move, it is now clear that a transfer will not be feasible. The pressure on creating new student places at the University of Oxford meant that a viable plan proved impossible.
The Textile Conservation Centre will therefore be closed by the University of Southampton on 31st October 2009 and its staff will be made redundant with effect from 1st November 2009.
