Re:Imagine Sustainability

Sustainability is at the heart of Bath and this year we're collaborating with you, our student and staff community, to create a bold installation on campus.

At Bath, we're continuing to make progress for sustainability, and this has been recognised through our improvement in this year’s QS Sustainability Rankings, placing 56th globally.

To continue building on this positive momentum, we're embarking on an exciting project this academic year in collaboration with Hubbub, an award-winning environmental charity specialising in creative behaviour change.

Creating a sustainability installation on campus

As members of our staff and student community, we invite you to take an active role in this project to help us create an installation that showcases and celebrates the fantastic amount of sustainability work happening at the University and sparks curiosity across campus.

The creativity of staff and students is essential to designing and delivering the installation, helping to ignite curiosity, provoke thought and inspire action.

Project timeline

Re:Imagine kicked off in November 2025 and is supported by our Vice-Chancellor.

In December, we asked staff and students want they want from this project in our annual Sustainability Survey, and this feedback will help establish our priority areas to focus on.

In January, we will hold a workshop to develop ideas and co-create a brief for the project.

In February, we brought together students and staff for a creative hackathon, with one team crowned winners.

The visions of our community will now be brought to life, with the physical installation unveiled later in 2026 alongside the launch of a new University Sustainability Plan.

Creative hackathon

Over 60 members of our community joined forces for the Re:Imagine Sustainability hackathon, gaining a unique opportunity to create a lasting legacy for sustainability at the University of Bath.
