Triangle

General

Where is the Castle Meadow site?
 
How will the development of the site be managed?
 
Will the development be sustainable?
 
What does practice-based students being based at CMC mean?
 
How do we balance being open to the public but not attracting safety and security issues?
 
Teaching is likely to be more on-line (off-site). Will large lecture theatres, staff offices and student accommodation be as important as previously?
 
Will there be student accommodation on this campus?
 
Can we run a “use case scenario” workshop to look at visitor journeys so all user scenarios have been considered before plans are made to occupy spaces?
 

 

Finance and investment

Does investment in Castle Meadow mean that other estates maintenance and capital project works get de-prioritised?
 
What does this mean for the ‘levelling up’ of other campuses such as Sutton Bonington?
 
Will there be investment in Castle Meadow to make it fit for the purposes we may have as a university?
 
What other opportunities are there for the new campus to generate income?
 
Who are our partners in Nottingham? Would their placement offering match all discipline areas at Nottingham or, would CMC support mainly Business and FinTech?
 

 

Travel and transport

How much parking will there be, and how will it be allocated? Whilst in the city centre, public transport won't be suitable for all.
 
Will council be part of discussions around transport connectivity to campus for current car users? Local park and ride facilities are already oversubscribed.
 
Will the Hopper Bus be expanded to link to the City Centre campus?
 

 

Plans and opportunities for the new campus

Are there any plans for the vacated space on Jubilee and potentially King’s Meadow? Do we have too much real estate as a university?
 
What is the plan for the Business School buildings on Jubilee? Is NUBS moving completely?
 
There was mention of partners being located at the site. Are these just commercial entities or could we create a space for NGOs and CBOs?
 
Since there are solicitors on site, and Castle Meadow is close to the law courts, will the School of Law have a presence on the campus?
 
Are better/larger library facilities planned? The current Business School library is small and does not provide group study rooms or informal spaces.
 
The levelling up agenda is a hot topic politically at the moment - can this new development contribute to it?
 
Will there be a Students’ Union presence for activities?
 
Can we push to have counselling space expanded, and a wellbeing collaboration on this site?
 
Will all 'central services' have a presence - welfare, student services, counselling, sport/fitness, careers, CELE, libraries, visa and immigration?
 
Can we brand our inclusive values through wall art, signage and foreground well-being and support services? It could help square physical security and inclusivity.
 
  • Are students involved in the design of the Castle Meadow Campus?
