Projects & Construction

The Department of Estates has responsibility for the delivery of all new building and major refurbishment projects on campus. The team provides a full service from initial briefing and concept design through to planning and building regulation applications, tendering of construction works and supervision of projects through their construction phase.

The small internal team is supported by a Framework of external consultants.

Projects are normally instigated by the Vice-Chancellor's office or the University's Executive Committee. However, the Capital Procurement Team is happy to provide early advice on potential projects as needed.

Please see the link on the left hand side of this page to see how to request major project works in your department.

• Health and Safety Advice

All staff and campus users are reminded that barriers placed around construction, refurbishment and building alteration work sites are there for your safety. You categorically may not pass round or move any such barrier, however temporary, and whether or not work appears to be taking place at any time.

Please communicate this message to all visitors and students for whom you have any responsibility.

Should you have any queries please contact the Department of Estates via email.
