The Capital Programme

The capital programme consists of a number of major projects including the completed Mountbatten Complex and the Life Sciences Building, current projects such as the Maritime Centre of Excellence (the redevelopment of the Boldrewood campus) and the refurbishment of residential accommodation, as well as some smaller projects related to the University's infrastructure. These projects will transform the University's campuses, as set out in its Estate Strategy (2006), and will serve as a visual reference to the University's ambition to be one of the UK's leading universities, recognised around the world for excellence in education, research and innovation.

The nature and complexity of the programme has necessitated the appointment of design, project, and construction professionals who are from some of the UK's leading practices. They are undertaking the rigorous thinking and preparation that is essential to ensure the success of the capital programme. With many different projects running in parallel, planning and co-ordination is key - this pivotal role is being undertaken by the Programme Management Unit - and will be essential to ensure the programme's success.
