The estates director’s influence on the financial profile of an ever developing estate

The session will look at the future and how Universities may need to develop their estates in order to maximise revenue, minimise cost and reflect the diverse activities of the HE sector. The session will focus on some of the finance and cost implications to be aware of, and the positive influence that estates teams will have on this and how innovations may assist. Deloitte will explore areas such as research and commercial facilities, sporting facilities and student accommodation and using case-studies will consider the challenges and opportunities involved in such developments.

Lunch will be available at the back of the room, with another table on the other side of the back wall on the mezzanine level.

Please visit our supporter's exhibition stands during the break. 

The Human Factor; an exploration of how people, place and culture have evolved.

This session looks at the people, cultures and diversity within a global population and how;

• a) people have led change
• b) HE is evolving to meet the needs of an ever diverse student population
• c) the estate creating a sense of place
• d) what more still needs to be done and how HE can lead

There will be insights and ideas as to what Directors of Estates can do to further equality and diversity in their teams, and in terms of trends for future estates developments. 

Simon Fanshawe OBE, himself a Co-founder and Partner of Diversity by Design, will lead a panel including David Malcolm of the Equality Challenge Unit and Harvey Dowdy, Director of Estates at University of Lincoln.

Refreshments are available at the back of the room.
