EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The University of Suffolk is strongly embedded in our local region, and our unique and integrated partnership with our regional stakeholders is central to our identity. Our plans to deliver national and international impact through teaching, research and innovation will bring increased recognition, wealth and opportunity to the region. The student experience is at the heart of what we do, and the partnership between students and staff is one of the University’s key strengths. Our students experience the highest quality in teaching, learning and social environments. Scholarship and high impact research is pervasive within the institution, and we offer our students a transformational experience. As a relatively newly-established university, we have ambitious plans for growth. We keep a very close eye on student recruitment trends and anticipate the point where our projected growth will enable us to realise our long-term vision of a marina-based campus in the heart of Ipswich. The principal purpose of our Estate Strategy will be to proactively deliver and maintain a cost effective, fit for purpose and inspirational higher education campus that will attract students to study at the University of Suffolk as well as contributing significantly to their experience through the provision of high-quality student facilities. To achieve this, changes will be required in the coming years, the delivery of which will require us to explore options including the construction of new buildings and the upgrading of existing buildings. Close collaboration with our stakeholders to understand and deliver to their needs and the wider interests of the region will inform and assist in our future campus development.
