Travel Survey 2010-11

A report on the findings of the travel survey for staff and students is available to read by following the link on the right hand side of this page.

Results from the survey will be used to support our resubmission of the University Masterplan, which describes how we plan to develop the University in the future and what improvements could be made. All information will be stored according to the Data Protection Act of 1998.

Designed in partnership between the Department of Estates and the Department of Psychology, the survey included an optional section that explored the psychology behind travel, which will be used in a PhD research project.

Many thanks for your help.

Pedestrian Access Scheme - RIBA Higher Education Design Quality Forum (HEDQF)

As part of the East Building works, the Arrivals Square was 'substantially enhanced', improving conditions for both buses and passengers. The pedestrian footbridge has provided direct access to the new Student Centre and traffic-free through routes are now available to pedestrians. Accessibility has improved for those with disabilities. These measures received recognition in a recent RIBA competition entitled 'SMall Budget, Big Impact'.
