Stratford
the University as careers first. Proposals are current- ly being prepared for planning submission.
Arthur Edwards Building Proposals are currently in development to optimise the ground floor of this building for student facilities (including Student Union social space and self-ser- vice catering). This will enhance support for the ex- isting University community, and subject to planning approval, place the Arthur Edwards building at the heart of the new student village. Stratford Redevelopment Our proposal and planning application to create a new student village with additional student accom- modation (650 rooms) is currently undergoing pub- lic consultation, and our plans have been made avail- able on a public-facing website. The Dome This historic monument and Grade Two listed build- ing will receive its phase two final touches, with up- grades to glasswork, heating, lighting, and AV equip- ment (subject to planning and heritage approvals). Hospital and Primary Care Training Hub (H&PCTH) The next phase in the development of the H&PCT expands and enhances this facility and optimises spaces for practice-based learning, research infra- structure and lab developments - further positioning
Reconfiguration of USS The USS main entrance (atrium) is planned to be relocated to face the main road, increasing visibility and opening the building up to the local communi- ty through a glazed building front that showcases gallery areas and connects the ground floor to the garden. Flexible, activity-based workspaces (Your Space, Your Place) will be implemented including research infrastructure to maximise campus space and encourage an inclusive culture where staff and students connect and collaborate. Stratford Circus We’re at the beginning of an exciting journey in part- nership with the Stratford Youth Zone, as we take over Stratford Circus (to be renamed) from 1 Octo- ber 2023, following confirmation that we were suc- cessful in our bid to partner with Newham Council to provide a cutting edge cultural and creative pro- gramme for young people. Carbon Net-Zero Across all sites, a rolling programme of lighting, ener- gy and room refurbishments, plus new Electric Vehi- cle (EV) Charging, will continue to reduce our emis- sions and support our journey to Carbon Net-Zero by 2030.
Connected Campus is the UEL’s multimillion-pound investment programme to improve its three cam- puses by creating more pioneering, vibrant and welcoming spaces for people to study, work and live.
The programme launched in April 2021, and since then, we’ve created outdoor focal points (Cam- pus Hearts) at all campuses; showcased our enhanced visual identity with clear signage; devel- oped new places; and introduced new learning and teaching spaces to pioneer future careers in a changing world. Watch our first Connected Campus video update to learn more about what was achieved in the first years of the programme.
2023 SUMMER WORKS
ready for the start of the new academic year, and we’ll be upgrading the East Building Street to create a vibrant ‘marketplace’, fit to host an array of student activities, and built with sustainable materials that reflect the natural world and our ongoing commitment to the environment. The programme will continue to enhance and create new learning spaces that foster connection and collaboration, along with new campus activity trails that provide our community with new ways to explore campus grounds, unplug and escape screen time. Activity Trails Three new activity trails are being developed to provide new ways to explore campus grounds on foot and encourage students and our university community to exercise and escape screen time. Visible from the moment you arrive, and acces- sible from University Square and the riverside, three routes will be created, namely, a Discovery, Sports and Wellbeing Trail. AVA Building Continuing the recent developments in the AVA building, construction has commenced on a new entrance to include a large glazed shop window that will (quite literally) shine a light on the gallery area and students’ works. Expected completion is September 2023.
Docklands As London continues to expand east, and the Royal Docks becomes the new home for sustain- able and forward-thinking businesses, our ambi- tion is that the Royal Docks Centre for Sustaina- bility (RDCS) will be at the heart of this emerging ecosystem. The RDCS will become a regional hatchery for sustainable innovation and enter- prise, supporting new and existing businesses with networking and partnership opportunities, and a talent pool of skilled workers, researchers, and specialists that work together under one roof to deliver positive green growth for the local area and economy. Construction has commenced in the new facility, to be completed in October 2023, equipping us with a range of new capabilities, including energy efficiency and clean-tech research infrastruc- ture, rapid prototyping, state-of-the-art testing equipment, electronic and mechanical compo- nent assembly, and materials analysis. New flex- ible teaching spaces will also be made available, along with space to socialise in a new ground floor café. East Building – The Street, Royal Docks Campus Teaching and learning spaces will be refurbished
