Projects

Architecture building

The Project Management Office (PMO) provides a holistic estate project delivery service to gain efficiencies, standardise systems and processes, control project delivery and improve quality.

Services include project planning; resource management; governance and reporting; risk management, stakeholder management and communications. The PMO is divided into three sections;

Capital Major Projects

Capital Projects involve the strategic planning, procurement, delivery and handover of major projects with a value greater than £1 million. This ranges from construction of new buildings to refurbishments.

Capital Minor Projects

Incorporates work between the value of £50k to £1 million and involves the refurbishment, enhancement and adaption of existing buildings and infrastructure.

Capital Long Term Maintenance Projects

Capital Long Term Maintenance (LTM) is defined as work of a non-routine nature generally costing £50k or more, which is required where building or engineering elements have failed, are in imminent danger of failing, or no longer comply with legal requirements.

Space 

  • Space Allocation - The allocation of space is determined by the Space Allocation Sub-Committee. The Sub-Committee sanctions usage by allocating available space to meet the resource requirements of the University.
  • Transparent Approach to Costing (TRAC) - TRAC is the methodology developed for HE to help cost activities. One element of this is how space is used, the estates costs of academic schools are attributed to Teaching, Research and Other.
  • Learning Environment - To report the condition, usability and the accessibility of teaching rooms.
