The University of Nottingham's new Jubilee Campus expansion

Mar 8, 2012 |NBS

The University of Nottingham's distinctive Jubilee Campus is a development that is intended to demonstrate the University's commitment to exemplary standards of energy efficiency in its buildings.

Located about a mile away from the main University and to the southwest of the city centre, the campus originally opened in 1999 on the site of Nottingham's famous Raleigh bicycle factory and was a 7.5 hectare brownfield site housing a variety of former industrial buildings.

Home to the University's Business School, the campus has been constructed around an artificial lake on the River Leen and has extensive enlargement plans.

The latest phase of the development has seen three new landmark buildings constructed – structures which are intended to demonstrate the University's commitment to a wide-ranging policy of environmental responsibility.

Introduced to improve accountability, traceability and safety standards across the built environment, the legislation has fundamentally changed the responsibilities placed on architects, contractors and manufacturers. While the principles behind the Act are widely supported, the reality for architectural practices is proving more challenging than many anticipated.
