The University’s corporate strategy calls for vibrant campuses and cutting-edge facilities. The estates strategy is the blueprint for achieving those aims.
The University’s corporate strategy of 2019/20–2024/25 laid out an exciting plan to consolidate what was already good and build further to create a sector-leading transformational institution that was based in, and for, the community. “The physical infrastructure is the foundation of the corporate strategy” – that strategy calls for vibrant campuses and cutting-edge facilities, and this estates strategy is the blueprint for achieving those aims.
In accordance with the corporate strategy, we will:
- keep our estate in good order
- invest to ensure that all of our teaching facilities are at industry standard
- evolve our library and special collections to further support student learning and our research goals
- put environmental issues at the heart of everything we do
- undertake detailed work to establish priorities for future investment
The corporate strategy extends to a life of fve years. Creating change in the built environment is complex, long-lasting and can involve extended delivery periods; for that reason, this strategy will span 10 years and support the University into the development of the next corporate strategy.
