VISION - Imagining a future university estate ● Collaborating with the staff and students of Edinburgh Napier University on a holistic, in-depth exploration of the University's three Edinburgh campuses
to design and deliver a comprehensive people- centred engagement project, gathering insights from a plethora of stakeholders and collaborating with the workstreams to harness and develop their ideas.
+ Project Identity A bespoke identity using the project name to represent each workstream typographically and establish a creative and memorable approach to the consultation. + Digital Engagement A project blog and associated social media acted as a communications gateway, raising awareness of the project throughout the University community and beyond. + Stakeholder interviews One-to-one interviews with stakeholders from the University community drew out the project goals and high-level ideas and established the critical stimuli for the Design Jams. + Context Review A review of aspirational or innovative projects in parallel markets identified trends and provided supporting content for the

In 2019, Edinburgh Napier University embarked on a journey to develop a new strategy, 'Shaping the Future of Infrastructure and Estates' [SOFIE].

to allow information to snowball from one group to the next and maximise the innovation potential. + Student Competition The project was opened to the broader student community, offering a cash prize and an internship with the Nomad Team. + Exhibition The Design Jam project concepts were exhibited to the wider University community, who were given opportunities for feedback. With such a project, each method became vitally important. However,
across different groups.
We must use our principles to drive fundamental change and ensure that thinking steers the project - not architecture.
The project resulted in eight concept packages and an abundance of 'Quick Wins', providing University decision-makers with clear directions for current and future development.
The Vision Creative Consultation project employed several interlinked communication/ consultation methods, including;
