Market Square Development

This project was, in many ways, the start of the work for our new flagship student centre and central university square. However, much of the work and relocation of teams from unsuitable buildings needed to happen anyway to offer them more suitable spaces and working environments.

The project included:

• Providing Campus Safety (formerly Security Services) with a new home on the ground floor of the Market Square building (above Nisa)
• Creating a new hub on the lower ground floor (same level as Nisa) as a space for student front-line services and triage teams to work closely together
• Eventually demolishing the following buildings: the Security Centre, IT Services, the Student Admin Building and the old Environment building.
• By locating the services in very visible central locations, where students tend to congregate, we are putting the services that students need the most front and centre of our campus. This will be enhanced further when the new student building is completed.
