Apparently, the new centre will be located in the BBC's new MediaCity headquarters, which will be centered in Salford on the outskirts of Manchester.
It is hoped the new centre will become an establishment of national significance, and it will be tailored to meet the needs of industry.
The centre will make use of the BBC's Children's and Sports Department, Interactive Education and Literacy Department, and R&D operations, we're told.
It isn't yet clear when the centre will open its doors. Thanks to Eurogamer.net.
