A sense of identity and belonging is essential to our success. Creating new homes for our schools and emerging subject areas is key.
The University’s Education for Social Justice Framework identifies the importance of the psycho-social environment in improving learning outcomes. A sense of belonging and safety is essential to the success of our students and staff alike.
In order to achieve this and to meet the evolving developments in teaching, digitisation and digital poverty, students’ experiential expectations and emerging subject areas and schools such as nursing and the built environment, we will invest close to
£100 million in our campuses over the next 10 years.
A new campus masterplan will be developed
that will:
- create school centres consisting of collocated academic offices, specialist teaching space, school offices, pastoral and academic support and independent learning spaces – the school centres will be distinct from one another and reflect the identity and activities of that school
- establish new centres and teaching spaces for nursing, and the built environment, to accommodate these developing subject areas
- develop and reconfigure the existing learning centres and libraries and create new independent learning spaces that support new ways of learning whilst respecting our current valuable learning assets
- create a new entrance to the Holloway Road campus which is welcoming, professional and elevates our prominence on the street frontage
- create a heart to the Holloway Road campus that feels like home whilst allowing us to better welcome and interact with our local community and stakeholders
- make sense of the winding and extended corridors that have evolved across the Holloway Road campus so that students, staff and visitors can easily orientate and find their way
- innovate in the way that our professional services work, creating new hybrid working hubs that promote collaboration, efficiency and creativity
