Canterbury: Components of the masterplan include reorganisation and refurbishment together with the construction of a new (FE) block and a pavilion within the existing courtyard. These two developments could provide some 750m2 of new space. The masterplan notes the relatively poor build quality and architectural expression of the residential accommodation block, Ian Dury House, and proposes its redevelopment. It also recognises that the approach to, and first impressions of, the campus are problematic, given the shared access with Canterbury College. Epsom: The masterplan proposes repurposing of academic space, the creation of a new entrance and refurbishment of the Main Building. It also identifies land on campus which could be developed for a number of purposes as an expansion opportunity for academic or residential space of the order of 3,300m2. This is in addition to the Business School Phase 2. Farnham: At this campus, the proposed approach includes the demolition of Main Hall, considered no longer fit for purpose, and the extension of the Student Village with new accommodation (now being implemented). The masterplan also recommends repurposing and reconfiguring academic space, modification to the main entrance, including roof replacement, and improvements to public realm, the courtyard and social hub areas. The modular office building on Car Park A will replace the administrative uses housed in Main Hall.

Rochester: The masterplan for Rochester focuses on fabric upgrades and internal reconfiguration and reorganisation including repurposing academic space with scope for limited additional space through extensions over existing balconies on the ground and first floor.
