University College London (UCL) and Newham Council have entered into talks to discuss a potential new campus in the London borough that is to host the Olympics 2012.
The university currently has a campus in the Midtown district of Bloomsbury, but is looking at plans for a development that would include residential, teaching and research space, as well as new
London offices.
Mayor of Newham Sir Robin Wales said the east of London would benefit from the establishment of "world-class academic facilities in Stratford".
"As well as presenting employment opportunities, a new campus will provide a significant boost to the local economy and provide a lasting legacy for the community," he added.
The announcement is one of a long line of developments currently in the pipeline for the east of the capital.
One Stratford Place presently offers ten storeys of
London offices, although an additional one million sq ft of corporate space is scheduled for delivery further down the line.
