Building Projects - The Development Team
About us
The Development Team provides a professional consultancy service and interface to the administrative departments, academic departments, and residential services, for effective management of building and refurbishment projects from inception through design and implementation to completion. For information on what we are building at the moment see Projects under development. For information on the work we have already done see Recently completed projects.
Departments should first discuss any building or works projects within the College to ensure that they fit in with College plans. For all projects our Development Team will require that you complete a Project Brief Form; for further information and a copy of the form goto. Approval for centrally funded new projects and major works is made at University Level.
