Director of Estates Applicant Brief
The University of Derby is a modern, innovative education provider that achieved its university status in 1992. Teaching at our Derby site actually dates back to 1851, when it was a Diocesan Institution for training teachers, so we have over 160 years of expertise in education. The University has since become a university of first choice for students who want a caring, aspirational environment where they can equip themselves for the career they choose. Our significant investment in world class facilities is building on our reputation for student-focused real world learning, in an increasingly competitive sector. During the last five years we have invested over £150 million in facilities, designed to give our students the very best possible learning environment. We have more investment planned and continue to develop our teaching to be innovative, stimulating and engaging. Recent investments in our facilities include: • £12 million STEM Centre, including facilities for mechanical testing, robotics and an anechoic chamber. • State-of-the-art £10.8 million sports centre. • Immersive Interactive Simulation Suite, the only one of its kind in a university outside London.
• Forensic Training Facility, with a dedicated crime scene house. • Dedicated fashion and textiles facility at Chandos Pole Street. • Industry-standard Bloomberg Financial Markets Lab.
