The Estates Department comprises a high performing team of estate professionals that continues to manage and develop a high quality estate. The University has an ongoing commitment to invest in its Estate through a capital plan which entails the completion of a number of multi-million pound projects, both new build and refurbishment, together with a host of minor capital and revenue projects. The Maintenance function is well established to support both recent and planned growth – not least the addition of a Medical School and c.3,000 new bed spaces.
