Estates Strategy 2031+

Our new Estates Strategy is linked closely to our Liverpool 2031 strategy, designed to help the University achieve its long-term goals and reinforce our presence in the Knowledge Quarter, Liverpool City Region and beyond.

The Estates Strategy is designed to drive institutional performance, improve the utilisation and function of our existing estates assets, exploit opportunities to dispose of assets beyond reasonable life and develop strategic partnerships that enable us to realise external sources of funding for major strategic developments.

These developments will bring forward highly flexible, multidisciplinary, digitally enabled facilities that focus on creating engaging user experiences that underpin the student and staff experience as well as drive research intensity.

Our heritage estate also has inherent value and history that should be celebrated and curated for the benefit of our communities and play a significant role in our international profile.

The opportunities presented in the Strategy are transformational and will significantly contribute towards the delivery of Liverpool 2031 whilst reinforcing our existing presence in the Knowledge Quarter, Liverpool City Region and beyond.

A clear, long-term vision for the future

“The new Estates Strategy presents a clear, long-term vision for the future of our campuses, acting as a guide for our land and building investments, which could total up to £1 billion over the next 10 years. It has been developed over a period of 12 months in consultation with key stakeholders, the University Council and our external Knowledge Quarter and City Region partners. Our new strategic framework, Liverpool 2031, is at its heart. The Estates Strategy has been carefully crafted to play its part in the delivery of our ambitions – from our aim to be a top-100 university globally to our research, teaching, global and regional objectives – and, of course, our focus on our people, culture and sustainability.” - Professor Tim Jones, Vice-Chancellor
