University of Bristol - Director of Estates

Capital investment The current scale of ambition for capital investment in the mid-term exceeds £500 million. Notable projects include: • The Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, a new £300 million enterprise campus the will deliver state-of-the-art education and research facilities and will create a campus that is ‘welcoming and inclusive’, to be shared with local communities, visitors to the city and with business and industrial partners alike. • A major strand of the new University strategy is to transform the centre of the main Clifton campus. The University aims to create a highly visible, coherent and welcoming heart to the campus, based on Tyndall Avenue and Woodland Road by providing new facilities, remodeling and integrating existing facilities and enhancing the external public realm. • As part of the wider plans to remodel Tyndall Avenue, a new £80 million library will replace The Hawthorns - a former hotel which currently houses some student accommodation, catering facilities and various offices. This landmark building will integrate with the local built environment, capitalises on the location and views, and extend the landscaping from Royal Fort Garden throughout the whole precinct. • Work is currently ongoing to deliver the renovation and remodelling of the Grade II listed Fry building to provide a state-of-the-art new home for the School of Mathematics. • We are in the planning stages for the development of a new, world class facility for research and teaching for the School of Humanities.
