Scope of the Strategic Framework for the Estate
Scope
The strategic framework for the estate is designed to:
- guide proposals and practices through principles and process for Newcastle University’s UK based locations
- help support decisions at our international campuses
- inform Newcastle University’s physical footprint between 2023 to 2030 by creating a campus for the future
- respond and embody the vision, values, guiding principles, and strategies of Newcastle University across its estate and facilities
This strategic framework for the estate was written by members of the Estates Portfolio Board in consultation with key stakeholders. These include:
- faculties
- schools
- institutes
- professional services
- students
The strategic framework is a people centred document. It acknowledges that Newcastle University operates as an in-person on-campus environment. For reasons of sustainability and flexibility there are clear links with the Technology Portfolio Board.
The Technology Portfolio Board operates to a similar strategic framework that seeks to ensure that investment in technology best supports the university’s strategic objectives. The Portfolio Boards evaluate/manage the project portfolio. However, they operate within strategic direction and priorities set by the:
- Infrastructure Strategy Group
- University Executive Board
Ideas, proposals, designs, and suggestions for how we develop a campus for the future will be supported by this framework. It does not lay the blueprint for all activity until 2030, rather it works as a scaffold to support the proactive and responsive physical infrastructure activity.
