Estate Management
About Estate Management
Estate Management is a multi-disciplinary organisation responsible for the development, management and maintenance of the University estate, along with the provision of a variety of related services. Please see our Main Office Locations for further information
The estate is currently valued at £1.7 billion (Insurance Replacement Cost) and its broad and complex nature presents many demanding challenges, for example some buildings are 800 years old, Grade I Listed and protected by English Heritage, whilst others are new with highly sustainable building fabrics and buildings management systems.
The capital building programme is currently worth £250 million and provides a rich mix of activities that utilise best practice ‘risk-averse’ methods of planning, design, development and construction.
Principally Estate Management is responsible for:
- Planning and managing the University's estate development programme.
- Project managing new build construction and the refurbishment/alteration of existing stock.
- Managing the operational and non-operational estate including residential accommodation.
- Maintaining the University's teaching, research and administrative buildings.
- Delivering a comprehensive security and facilities management service to the University.
- Managing catering outlets across the estate.
- Managing the operational and research facilities at the University Farm and Agronomy (Potato Research).
- Promoting the University's environmental sustainability initiative, particularly with regard to reducing carbon emissions.
