Estates Strategy
An institution’s estate is one of its most valuable assets. On average twelve per cent of its income will be focussed on this area. This represents the second largest single item of investment/expenditure, next to staffing.
The “look and feel” of the estate has a major bearing on the perceptions of the institution as a whole by staff, students, and other key stakeholders. In the increasingly competitive world of higher education the quality of the overall university experience will be key to the institution ensuring its long term future sustainability.
A well thought through Estates Strategy provides an essential framework against which future investment decisions can be made. It does not sit in isolation however but is driven by the future academic vision and the availability of resource.
The institution’s Estates Strategy supports the realisation of the objectives of the University’s Strategic Plan 2006 – 2011 but must also look forward and anticipate possible future requirements.
To ensure that the Estates Strategy sets the context and goals for Canterbury Christ Church University for the next five years, the current Estates Strategy (October 2009 Edition) is being reviewed and updated in line with the new University Strategic Plan and the ongoing Campus Network Review.
