Estates Strategy
The Estates Strategy starts from a position of considerable strength. Our campuses have an exceptional heritage of universally recognised historic buildings and landscapes that provide a rich and distinctive setting for the University. The quality of the campuses and the facilities they offer is fundamentally important in attracting students and staff to the University and therefore represent a key asset requiring careful stewardship, investment, and enhancement. Our campuses are located at the heart of the Thames Gateway, Europe’s largest and most ambitious regeneration initiatives. Major investment in housebuilding, community and transport infrastructure is transforming the area and supporting high levels of population and economic growth. Our campuses have a significant role to play in supporting this growth and in maximising the long-term benefits for the communities we serve.
The University’s Strategy THIS IS OUR TIME establishes a mission to become the best modern university in the UK by 2030.
