Capital investment The current scale of ambition for capital investment in the mid-term exceeds £600 million. The Director of Campus Development will be responsible for the delivery of these projects supported by Development & Strategy teams (Capital, Sustainability and Space & Asset Management). Notable projects include: • The Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus (TQEC), a new £350 million enterprise campus that 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, remodelling and integrating existing facilities and enhancing the external public realm. • As part of the wider plans to remodel Tyndall Avenue, a new £100 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, capitalising 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. • A new, world class facility for research and teaching for the School of Humanities.
