Below are details of some of the projects Estate Services' teams are currently involved in.
The new Law Building is proposed as a high quality new build, designed to BREEAM very good standard, of mainly office accommodation on the Western Campus. The School of Law currently occupies several houses in Lyddon Terrace, which is full to capacity, is fragmented and ill-suited for academic purposes. The aim of the investment is that the School of Law will be enabled to become an elite institute, ranked among the top 5 UK Law Schools. The consolidation of Law on the Western campus will amidst other professional disciplines already sited there will help to create a ‘professional campus’. A suite of high quality teaching rooms for post graduate and CDD use is also included within the new building.
