Since the John Henry Brookes Building opened in February
2014, a series of moves has been planned, helping to zone the
Headington Campus into spaces for student-facing activities,
directorate support and a central core of academic teaching and
research.

Governors confirmed the business priorities in 2012, and these
are shaping the development of the Estate Strategy options
to support the University. The aim is to achieve a smaller but
better quality estate that supports the strategic aspirations of
the Faculties and Directorates. The estate needs to deliver an
excellent student experience in suitably located facilities with
flexibility to meet the needs of the University in the long term.

Key points from consultation
PROGRESS
A co-location working group was formed in June 2013 to discuss
and work through the logistics of co-locating the different
services of Print, Post & Stores.
Data were gathered on staff numbers, types of work, storage
requirements, synergies between teams and where services
could potentially be improved. Sharing vehicles, storage, office
space and restrooms. The ground floor of Fuller will be adapted
to keep delivery vehicles separated from pedestrian visitors by
using different entrances, which keeps all traffic on the southern
service road.
In March 2014, all staff involved in the anticipated series of
moves were invited to take part
in a survey to gauge their satisfaction with their current working
environment, and how well it supported them in doing their daily
tasks. The results have usefully highlighted some issues that
can be addressed through the moves. The results will also
be used as a benchmark against those of a future survey, to
establish levels of satisfaction once everyone has moved and
settled into their new environment.
During March 2014, the EFM Workshops relocated into their new
accommodation in Fuller to allow Birch House to be cleared,
ready for demolition.
In April 2014, the Post Room decanted to a temporary home in
the Helena Kennedy Student Centre to allow Stores to occupy
their old space in Fuller and the building works to progress in the
main section of the building.
