Summary

This session covers key issues facing Estates Management Groups, including effective property data management, strategic master planning for expanding campuses, and navigating landlord compliance obligations - particularly in relation to health & safety and fire strategies during refurbishments.

What to expect

It will also explore practical approaches to the “lease vs licence” debate for small spin-outs and other occupiers of Higher Education space, alongside opportunities to diversify campus estates into non-educational uses while managing risk and user expectations.
