The Estates Strategy
Our Estates Strategy launches this year. A transformational university supported by the Estates Strategy. The University’s commitment to £180 million of transformational investment is an ambitious and exciting development plan, to fulfil these primary goals: • Support the corporate strategy and the Education for Social Justice Framework • Address the inefficiencies and risks associated with our buildings • Enable the development of the University’s structure and emerging subjects and schools • Digitize the campus and user experience • Decarbonise the estate and improve our environment Infrastructure Improvements A key aspect of the Estates Strategy is to invest £40 million over the next ten years improving the infrastructure and condition of the estate, to place us firmly in the top quartile of all post ’92 universities. Large scale projects to improve building condition, functional suitability and space utilization will both remedy deficiencies in our physical infrastructure, and support the University’s evolving needs.
The Evolving University We will invest close to £100 million in our campuses over the next ten years, in projects dedicated to the heart of the Estates Strategy… meeting the constantly evolving developments in teaching, digitization and digital poverty, and creating a sense of belonging and safety essential to the success of our students and staff. We will surpass students’ experiential expectations, and support emerging subject areas and schools such as nursing and the built environment. A masterplan for the £100 million investment in our campuses will: • Create new distinct school centres, reflecting the unique identities and activities of our schools. Collocated academic offices, specialist teaching space, school offices, and independent learning spaces will meet the different needs of each school, within the always evolving landscape of education. • Develop our existing Learning Centres and libraries as a key project, with creation of new independent learning spaces supporting new ways of learning, whilst respecting our current valuable learning assets. • Establish new centres and teaching spaces for both nursing, and the built environment, to accommodate these developing subject areas. • Create a stand out new entrance to the Holloway Road campus - welcoming, professional and elevating our prominence on the street frontage. • Create a heart to the Holloway Road campus that feels like home, and allowing us to better welcome and interact with our local community and stakeholders.
