Estates

Our campuses will be safe, attractive and welcoming to all. They will provide stimulating and inclusive spaces for learning, research and collaboration, providing a great environment for our students and staff to achieve their best.

With the scale and magnitude of our investment we will become a sustainable and carbon neutral university that delivers a world class estate recognisable on a global scale.
