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
  • 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
  • underpin high-quality education, world-class research and innovation
  • generate industry and societal engagement

With people and their experience at its core, the framework adopts a 'one University estate' approach to the development. It will:

  • enhance the experience for all
  • maximise the effectiveness of our physical and digital estate
  • minimise our environmental impact

This strategic framework has guidance for those:

  • directly involved in the physically connected estate (the DISCovery themes)
  • 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
  • to continues to enhance student and colleague experience
  • provide an inspiring studying and working environment for our colleagues
  • create a safe and secure location
  • strengthen our standing as a global university
