Contractor Bouygues welcomed the first crop of students to the Innovation Campus site.
Three of the new student Ambassadors have visited the site to see how Bouygues UK and Cardiff University are working together to transform a former disused rail yard into a state-of-the-art campus for high-tech job creation and student start-ups, and to create further expertise in compound semi-conductors.

Five student volunteers from diverse backgrounds and areas of academic study at Cardiff University have been recruited to write, blog and share social media posts about their exclusive insights into the build on the city centre site.
Nick Toulson, Bouygues UK CSR manager for Cardiff Innovation Campus, said: "It is so encouraging that we have students from such diverse courses as Medicine, Urban Planning and Development and Civil Engineering.
"The student Ambassadors at the comprehensive schools we were building were amazing at informing their friends and peers about what was going on with the build, so we were really pleased when Cardiff University wanted to replicate the scheme at the Innovation Campus."
Nick added: "The Ambassadors will not only get to see how the site is developing from the inside, but they will also gain access to Bouygues UK's expertise in design, construction management, health and safety and quality – all disciplines which I'm sure will help in their future careers."
