The University's estate contains a wide and varied range of properties which understandably present their own challenges.
Some, such as the Arts Tower, are of great architectural importance and must be preserved as part of our national heritage, whilst others such as the award-winning Information Commons, are modern and sophisticated in their design and servicing.
Our staff will continue to strive for excellence in everything they put their hand to. The integration of these services does provide a unique opportunity to improve and build on the firm foundations that have been achieved over many years.
