UAL Estates Strategy

The University aims to be a place that will challenge, inspire, surprise and stimulate, to be recognised as one of the foremost institutions in the world for learning, practice, research and development in arts, design and communication, and to provide a learning environment in which originality is recognised, difference is respected, and excellence is pursued.

06

UAL has an incredibly diverse estate spanning Central and Greater London and includes a broad range of property types encompassing academic, teaching, research, commercial, social, hospitality, residential and public realm spaces.

The property portfolio is made up of 16 academic sites and 13 student residences hubs with buildings ranging from listed historic buildings to new state of the art facilities. This dynamic and diverse mix in one the world’s leading cities gives an exciting and challenging proposition to the UAL Estates department.

The Estates department is currently undertaking an unprecedented estate transformation programme. Following the success of UAL’s relocation of Central Saint Martins as the centrepiece of the King’s Cross regeneration scheme, it is now seeking to continue this transformation and plan to replace over half of the university estate over the next five years.

The current financial strength of the University, combined with opportunities in the property market, provide a unique opportunity to deliver the vision of a more unified, rationalised estate. Whilst recognising the importance of the individual identity of the six Colleges, this is an opportunity to create greater campus environments, showcase its collections and archives and enable the University to act cohesively.

07

Primary interventions up to and beyond 2022 will be:

• The creation of new facilities for London College of Communication, London College of Fashion, Camberwell College of Arts, and University Services; parts of Chelsea College of Art will also be upgraded.

• A new Students Residence hall has now been delivered at Camberwell College of Arts and opportunities to build further UAL owned or part owned Halls of Residences are being explored, particularly local to academic premises where viable. Means of shortening tenures and providing lower rental accommodation for students will be pursued and the Pastoral and Social Programme activities in residences will be a core part of service delivery.

• A backcloth of creating a sustainable estate will enable the University to position itself as an influencer in this area for decades to come. The design of new premises will incorporate low energy sustainable operational concepts.

• The Facilities Management Services to the Colleges and University Services are tailored to suit the evolving development and rationalisation of the estate. The Services Team maintains the estate ensuring compliance with safety standards. Maintenance is proportionate to the condition and predicted tenure of each building.

• In operating, maintaining, rationalising and developing the estate the Student Experience and working environments for staff are of paramount importance. Through effective engagement with end users their needs and priorities are embedded in the strategy.

• Buildings for the future must be future proofed for the digital world and appropriate for multi-functional usage for multiple stakeholders. Through research and innovation UAL will strive for world class sustainable facilities.
