A college baseline estate review
LOCATION: YORK | PROJECT AREA: STRATEGIC ADVISORY SERVICES | PROJECT STATUS: COMPLETED
CLIENT: YORK COLLEGE
We worked with York College to provide them with a baseline review of their entire estate, enabling them to plan for the future.
The challenge
York College is a 7000+ student further education college based in the city of York.
The college appointed Sewell Advisory to undertake a review of their current accommodation to understand how effectively it was utilised and how well it met the needs of their current curriculum model and future aspirations.
The solution
We conducted a baseline review, understanding the current configuration, including collecting views from staff and students as to how well it met current needs. This looked at not only teaching space, but also support and communal areas, such as dining/break, independent study and social spaces.
The result
The outcome gave the College a short, medium and long term plan to change how they utilised their estate, as well as identifying a pipeline of future projects to better meet their future curriculum and student needs.
