Campus Planning and Design

What we do

The Campus Planning and Design team is responsible for the management of a diverse and dynamic property portfolio. Our aim is to reduce overall estates costs, releasing funds for other important activities and enabling facilities to be maintained to a higher quality. We also aim to maximise utilisation of the space we have as we work towards our carbon net zero target.

We enable better long-term estate planning and property management through our knowledge of the portfolio and maintaining accurate property information. We also support the development and use of property as a strategic function. Our estate should be capable of embodying the University’s wider aims and providing innovative workplace design, house novel research facilities and foster modern teaching methods.

Campus Planning and Design also manage the Campus Project Referral process where any requests for Campus Division input can be logged.

Who we are

Space Planning Managers and Project Development Managers

We provide expert advice on space management solutions, developing options appraisals, feasibility studies and design. We also provide supporting information in the business cases for investment.

CAD Team

We keep our 2D building plans updated, ensuring accuracy for space modelling as well as legislative compliance issues such as fire safety. We are looking towards 3D building models and geospatial mapping of the campus to build on our knowledge, improve legibility and support improvements to wayfinding for staff and students.

Space and Project Analysts

We manage the data that sits behind the building plans, occupancy, usage, size and location; they also provide the analytical skills to inform brief development work with the Space Planning Managers.
