The University of Birmingham has a large and varied estate, consisting of two main campus sites (Edgbaston and Selly Oak) along with properties in Stratford-upon-Avon, Ansty (near Coventry), Coniston (in Cumbria), Ironbridge and Dubai.
Therefore, it is essential that the university’s estate continues to support the delivery of excellent teaching and research, carried out in state-of-the-art facilities that are safe and accessible. Over the last 10 years, there have been many developments on campus, which have benefitted students, staff and the wider community.
