Director of Campus Development
The Campus Development department is made up of professionally qualified Project Managers delivering the University’s buildings and infrastructure projects. Working across both Major Projects and Minor & Intermediate Projects, we manage each project from early strategic definition through design, procurement, construction, and final handover. Our work is delivered using industry best practice, including the RIBA Plan of Work, and is underpinned by a strong commitment to continuous improvement.
HIGHLIGHTS

A bold reinvention of a Grade II listed post‑war brutalist building. Set across four floors and 7,500 m², the project strips the building back to its shell and reimagines it with new lecture theatres and external stair cores, blending architectural heritage with contemporary academic life.
Completion due 2027.

The European Centre for Medium range Weather Forecasting unlocks the future development of a net zero carbon headquarters. Works comprise the demolition of the TOB 1 building, service diversions to protect neighbouring assets, and site clearance to facilitate redevelopment.
