This programme is led by Professor John Dennis and Matthew Punshon, supported by the team below.
The Reshaping our Estate team are working closely with the academic community to establish the facts and present the opportunities, that will lead to creating an estate that is more efficient, more effective, and more environmentally sustainable.

Following extensive engagement with staff including over 150 interviews, 15+ workshops and over 1,000 people viewing both our physical and digital exhibitions we are at the stage of finalising the Strategic Estate Framework and the supporting 20 year strategic capital plan.  However, this is just the beginning; a long term plan can never be set in stone.  It will be a tool to enable change.  As projects develop, different opportunities emerge and priorities change, the whole University will have choices.  The next phase is, working with the Schools and NSIs, to start to develop the detail of the plan for the next five to ten years based on the capital allocation.

Working together, we need to continue to Identify opportunities within our existing estate to meet the University’s need in a way that supports the academic mission, and significantly enhances the staff and student experience, alongside driving down both our carbon emissions and annual running costs so that more resources can be reinvested directly into research and learning.

Led by Professor John Dennis and supported by Kathryn de Kort and Jess Mailey, over the next six months we will be developing, with each of the Schools and NSIs,  the next level of detail for each site focusing on delivering a more effective estate that delivers to the academic mission and vision; an estate that is more efficient and makes our money work harder and more sustainable reducing our impact on the climate and supporting the wellbeing of our staff and students.  

The team will all work closely with other teams and programmes across the University, including Cambridge University Libraries and the Programme Board for Education Spaces (PBES) which crosscut the way space is used.
