Working closely with the University over a ten month period, we developed a comprehensive, evidence-based accommodation masterplan, guiding them towards UCL’s vision for 2034; one of continued growth, becoming a cornerstone of the global research community.
The masterplan captures both supply; the scale, condition and connectivity of the University’s 600,000m2 estate, its proximity to hospitals, research and culture, and demand; the distribution of UCL’s current population, their teaching, timetabling, growth and residential requirements.
Through detailed interviews with Faculty and non-Faculty staff, we formed an understanding of their requirements for space present and future and were able to model over a decade of informed supply and demand data for the University.
Process
Multiple detailed Interviews with over 50 senior staff members from across the University - enabling us to disseminate key themes.
Relationships mapped through multiple adjacency diagrams - indicating the strongest connections between faculties.
Timetabling demand accurately modelled, as was overall and future predicted demand of space and compared to available supply.
Detailed sequences of projects and moves devised to meet collated space requirements.
