Rationalising the estate The broader thinking over the University’s future estate has been developed alongside its portfolio planning, and has resulted in the proposal to establish the principle of four ‘quarters’ on the Ipswich campus: • Creative and Digital (based around the recently refurbished Arts Building, and noting the completion of The Hold on campus in 2020); • Business (creating a dedicated hub for business-facing activities and courses in the Atrium Building, including IWIC); • Science (based in the James Hehir Building, but noting the current constraints on space due to the co-location with many health programmes); • Health and Wellbeing (currently based in various locations across the campus including the James Hehir Building, but currently without an identifiable ‘home’. The four quarters approach is not intended to be a subject-exclusive one, ie. the risk of subject ‘silos’ being created is acknowledged and will be avoided. Quite the opposite, cross-disciplinary teaching and inter-school collaboration forms an important part of our thinking in the implementation of the Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy. Rather, the purpose of the approach is to provide a clearer framework for our space planning, lengthen the planning horizon and enable schools to play a more engaged role in the future use of the estate.
