UEA is a Campus University and the Estates and Facilities Division is proud to be able to make a positive contribution to the University’s vision by managing, developing and creating a Campus that makes a positive impact on the living and learning experience for students and staff. The Campus is one of the most architecturally striking campuses in the Higher Education sector. The central Campus is set on a beautiful 360 acre estate in Norwich. The central Campus has a coherent built environment renowned for low energy sustainable buildings, iconic 1960s Lasdun-designed teaching and residential buildings, lord Foster’s Sainsbury Centre, innovative contemporary buildings for learning and enterprise and sensitively restored 16th century listed buildings. The western Campus, which includes the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital Trust and the Norwich Research Park, has award-winning research and teaching buildings which are the vanguard of collaborative research and development planned for the area. Our innovative works continue to win awards and we strive to make all our developments visually enhance the Campus and promote the principles of sustainable design, smart technology and ease of operation.
Our listed 1960s buildings are being reassessed to determine how we can create world class technology and research within an existing envelope. This reassessment will provide a unique opportunity for Estates and Facilities to reimagine the original ethos and design of the University. The breadth and depth of this remodelling will be the most important development in the life of the University since it was first conceived.
