iv) Reduction in building defects and rectification times

Framework Activity

The quality of the University estate and associated facilities are now major contributors to the perception of the University as an excellent higher education provider. The success delivered through the development of its campus environments has made the University one of the lead partners in the regeneration of Sunderland City Centre. This place shaping role has been reinforced by the designation of the City of Sunderland as a 'new kind of University City' under the Economic Masterplan.

The key challenges over the period ahead include:

o To provide efficient high quality learning, teaching, working, living and leisure facilities on the two main campus sites; Sir Tom Cowie Campus and City Campus.
o Partnership opportunities are continuing to be explored throughout the city and wider region with further potential development opportunities envisaged.
o Continued regeneration of the main campus environments.
o Responding to strategic change initiatives to secure a sustainable future for the University.
o Working with civic, regional, national and international partners both in the public and private sectors to innovate and exploit opportunity for mutual long term benefits.

The University non-residential estate comprises 30 buildings with an approximate total gross floor space of 90,000m2 over two main campus sites inclusive of residential accommodation.

A key challenge for the University will be to respond to emerging requirements. The projects must demonstrate from the outset and throughout the design and construction process that the spaces from which we operate have the potential to accommodate future changes.
