Campus Masterplan
Our new ten-year Campus Masterplan outlines the long-term vision for the development and management of our physical estate. It is a critical strategic enabler for De Montfort University, outlining our long-term vision, aligned to the Empowering University strategy and supporting its delivery across five strategic themes and twenty key focus areas. This agile masterplan provides a clear blueprint to guide future decision‑making enabling the targeted consolidation, investment and development of the estate over the coming decade. It will ensure the university is able to create the necessary physical and virtual environment to successfully position itself to recruit and retain students, deliver a life-changing educational experience, produce globally recognised research and innovation and offers a working environment for staff and collaborating stakeholders that will be empowering, contemporary and of high quality. This accommodates modern working styles and eliminating underused spaces for staff, addresses the need for a more dynamic student learning environment and creates
a collaborative space for our partners and collaborators.
The masterplan supports the opportunities presented by collaborative, shared and multifunctional spaces, fit for purpose to the needs of DMU as well as embracing digital transformation and innovation to create a ‘smart campus’. The masterplan embeds new space principles that will be activated through the use of real-time occupancy data to inform campus planning to deliver a right-sized, spatially efficient campus. As a result, we will see a reduction in dedicated office and generic spaces, reflecting modern, agile working practices; an increase in social student learning spaces, giving our students the contemporary, ‘cyberphysical’ learning environment that they will increasingly expect. And crucially, we will be best positioned to support and progress DMU’s carbon reduction and sustainability commitments. The full masterplan can be viewed here, along with a video explaining some further background.
