Construction
Since 2000, we've invested over £570 million in our tools, technology, buildings and facilities. Our libraries have a brand new look, we’ve revamped historic buildings and built state-of-the-art new facilities, plus we’re proud to be one of the most sustainable universities in the world. Our Sustainable Construction Policy ensures that all new major developments achieve BREEAM Excellent and an Energy Performance Certificate rated ‘A’. This policy has helped us to create sustainable buildings at all of our campuses.
