Campus for the Future

A Campus for the Future

Being clear and connected to the University’s Vision and Strategy through the work of the Estates Portfolio Board, acknowledging the performance of the current estate, and linking to the principles and strategic enablers for the estate the following is Newcastle University’s strategy and operation towards a Campus for the Future by 2030.

The aim of this Strategic Framework for the Estate is to create a connected campus for the future to underpin high-quality education, world-class research and innovation and Industry and societal engagement. With people and their experience at its core, the framework adopts a 'one University estate' approach to the development of the University estate and infrastructure to enhance the experience for all whilst maximising the effectiveness of our physical and digital estate and minimising our environmental impact.

This strategic framework has guidance for those directly involved in the physically connected estate (the DISCovery Themes) and for those colleagues who wish to make proposals for projects on the estate (The Qualitative and  Quantitative Measurements for Proposed Projects). Both sets of guidance are connected by the same ambition: for a  culturally, physically, and digitally connected campus that continues to enhance student and colleague experience,  provide an inspiring studying and working environment for our colleagues, a safe and secure location, and  strengthening our standing as a global university.
