The Strategy

The Estate Strategy is a strategy for the Bailrigg Campus and is a key enabler of the University’s new Strategic Plan 2021-26 and aims to deliver:

• physical and virtual infrastructure to create world class research
• teaching and learning environments that are required to support the Strategic Plan

The University established a commitment to have Environmental Sustainability as a core driver of the Strategic Plan with the University Council approving a Declaration of a Climate Emergency in November 2020.

Drawing on learning following the impact of the pandemic, the changes in the way we now work, the Estate Strategy presents new sustainable space options and seeks to accommodate our demographic growth forecasts against our carbon reduction targets by maximising opportunities to recycle and repurpose our existing space.

The Strategy also supports the delivery of the People & Culture Plan 2021–2026 and the University Masterplan 2017–2027.
