Bognor-based sports facilities for Olympics
Shifting the university's sports science department from Chichester to Bognor is also likely to see new sports facilities in place for the 2012 Olympics as part of a £30m investment in the campus.
Dr Baker wants these buildings to form some of the legacy of the London games.
The sports buildings and those used for music will be open to the public as part of the intention to put the campus firmly in the community.
Any major building work on the campus is unlikely to start until 2011.
The result of the changes will be to more than double the number of full-time university students in Bognor from about 1,000 earlier this year to 2,400 by 2016.
Each student is reckoned to generate 10,000 a year for the town.
The number of staff will also greatly increase from the current 177.
The teacher training courses which have been held at the campus for decades will be moving to Chichester as part of the change-around.
