UAL has an incredibly diverse estate spanning Central and Greater London and includes a broad range of property types encompassing academic, teaching, research, commercial, social, hospitality, residential and public realm spaces.
The property portfolio is made up of 16 academic sites and 12 student residences hubs with buildings ranging from listed historic buildings to new state of the art facilities. This dynamic and diverse mix in one the world’s leading cities gives an exciting and challenging proposition to the UAL Estates department.
The Estates department is currently undertaking an unprecedented estate transformation programme. Following the success of UAL’s relocation of Central Saint Martins as the centrepiece of the King’s Cross regeneration scheme, it is now seeking to continue this transformation and plan to replace over half of the university estate over the next five years.
The current financial strength of the University, combined with opportunities in the property market, provide a unique opportunity to deliver the vision of a more unified, rationalised estate. Whilst recognising the importance of the individual identity of the six Colleges, this is an opportunity to create greater campus environments, showcase its collections and archives and enable the University to act cohesively.
