About the Estates Directorate The Estates Directorate is responsible for providing efficient maintenance, security, portering, and cleaning services across the whole University along with strategic planning and development to include an extensive Capital development programme. The University itself benefits from having what is primarily a single Campus University site in an attractive setting and we are committed to enhance this environment and develop it further to provide a true campus living experience for our students. The campus master plan is currently being developed to maximise opportunity from the wider site and capital program and integrate a site wide carbon management strategy, development of an excellent urban landscape environment to allow our students and staff to enjoy the environment and provide clear and natural wayfinding and circulation, along with sustainable travel provision and convenient parking. The current Capital programme for delivery for the 2016/17 academic year extends to: £30m investment in circa 600 en-suite residences on campus. £24m investment into a new Health Campus to support the development of the Hull York Medical School and Faculty of Health and Social Care collaborative research activities. £8.5m refurbishment into a new state of the art performance and music recording facility. Further projects in the planning phase relate to the delivery of the new sports and fitness facility and a further phase of on site residential provision. We are also planning an innovative engineering building to support the academic initiative to university’s deliver skills for the sustainable technology businesses who are currently heavily investing in the Hull region. The Operational side of the directorate is changing too with a new computer aided facilities management software package (Planon) being implemented at present. This will allow us to manage our Estates data in the best possible way and also deliver maintenance jobs direct to mobile devices. We will also be able to engage with BIM data from our Capital projects and use this to improve the information available to our maintenance staff. We are seeking to improve our communication and make the Directorate as accessible as possible for our customers and provide the best possible communication channels. This will involve utilising our excellent in house teams in more innovative ways and making the most of the skills of all our staff at every level. We will look to our new Assistant Directors to be enthusiastic, team oriented, imaginative and aspirational in their outlook as well as being organised and systematic in their approach to help us deliver an exciting future.
