Broadly in estates we know what we have to deliver each year. There are three terms of safe, clean and secure learning and research environments for us to facilitate. We are used to the idea that summer is a busy period for us, with major projects often receiving their final push in time for the new academic year. And we are used to our activities slotting around and providing a framework for the teaching and research for which our institutions are known. But there’s a real sense at the moment that this applecart might be about to be upset. Financial constraints are headline news – the sense of a system not working for student, or taxpayer, or government. And actually not working for universities either. There is talk of the imminence of mergers, or worse. And in any likely future change scenario, estates will need to be at the very front of planning. Space change? Space reduction? Space that is increasingly removed from the historic hub of the university campus? Add to this the lifelong learning entitlement, changing pedagogy and the dramatically different tech and delivery expectations of the current generation of students, and it starts to feel like a system reboot could be coming our way. How might the schools, colleges, universities and employers of the near future collaborate to create a tertiary education system that works for all those of 16 years and older? And with less than two months having passed since the 2024 General Election, what are the early smoke signals from the government telling us about their plans for higher education?

AUDE’s whole remit and core vision is that by joining together we learn and share and develop better professional practice than we could ever achieve on our own. With this central belief in mind, our second main session of the Showcase gives a platform to the leads of all of our special interest groups to help delegates understand more about the key projects and activities your association is involved with right now. New tools for you to use, new partnerships for you to take part in, new projects for you to join in and influence.

BIM4Estates Group
Are you getting the best out of two industry leading technology providers within your organisation? Do you regularly hear about Digital Twins/Campuses but often do not understand where to start?
The BIM4Estates group have identified that there is a clear gap in knowledge surrounding two industry wide tools that nearly all of us in Higher Education have access to, that yet none of us are taking full advantage of. In sharing knowledge on these with the sector, we hope to inspire others to embark on a journey to implementing a digital twin of their campus and improving operational and strategic decision making.
As part of this session, you are going to hear directly from those leading providers, Autodesk and Esri. This will be an informative session where we will look to cover:
Speakers:
Matt Hoper, Data Manager (Estates), University of Birmingham
Brett Plant, Head of Estates Information and Systems, University of Warwick
Paul Eyden, BIM Manager, University of Warwick

Social Learn Campus – the right ingredients for better student experience
How can space support social learning experiences for our students? What even is social learning? And how do we build stewardship for our social learn campuses? We will share emerging findings on these themes from our Social Learn Campus research project, commissioned by AUDE, UDF and Willmott Dixon. We invite you to participate in this interactive social-learning-in-action session and together shape the research moving forward.
Walking the talk of social learning, we encourage you to join the pre-session activity on the AUDE discussion board to exchange insights and ideas, and download a pre-reading document.
Let's shape the Social Learn Campus discourse together.

This session will explore the career paths of some senior colleagues in the sector.
How did early decisions impact on their careers? Did they have a career plan and how much of this was structured or did it evolve from opportunities?

This workshop will explore all these matters with a panel of invited guests aiming to show you what steps you can take to support your own career development.

Universities are already feeling the impact of Climate Change on their operations and their bottom line. For Estates colleagues, there are challenges ahead in terms of balancing the needs to continue delivering high quality teaching research within aging buildings and infrastructure. The session will provide a view on how a broad risk management approach can help identify opportunities for improvements and a basis on which to focus budgets and resources to support the core mission.
