Appointment of Director of Estates and Facilities Management | 2015 Research

Wonder should be at the root of all academic research, but at Surrey we never feel that our research is complete until it has been tested, built upon and used for the greater good. It’s not that we only ever do applied research. We simply have a restless desire to make wonderful things happen as a result of everything we do.

Our research

From nutrition to nursing ethics and from sleep to infectious disease, University of Surrey academics are at the forefront of groundbreaking discoveries and translational research to improve human and animal health. Surrey research is contributing to secure a safer, healthier world for all.

HEALTH

Our industrial collaborations and partnerships ensure our academics lie at the heart of shaping future technologies. Home to award-winning departments and globally-leading research centres, our experienced scientists explore fields such as air travel, forensic analysis, satellite navigation, solar power, ultra-fast lasers, water sanitation and weather forecasting – to name just a few.

SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

From research into wearable electroencephalography (EEG) equipment to lack of accessible tourism and obesity drug failure, our academics are leading the way with their investigations into society. The diversity of our pioneering work reveals the role our academics play in creating a wider understanding of society.

SOCIETY

Researchers from the University of Surrey have launched a new programme of research called eSMART (Electronic Symptom Management using ASyMS Remote Technology), that uses mobile phone technology to remotely monitor patients who are undergoing chemotherapy to treat breast, bowel and blood cancers. The Advanced Symptom Management System (ASyMS) allows patients to report the side effects from their chemotherapy via a mobile phone. This information is immediately sent securely to a computer, which assesses their symptoms and triggers alerts to doctors or nurses within minutes if they require specialist intervention.

CASE STUDY: MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE

Researchers at Surrey Space Centre have created new technology to aid spacecraft repair, dispose of radioactive waste and monitor spacecraft. The intelligent robotic systems can inspect, monitor and identify when spacecraft needs repairing, and will also have the potential to support astronauts on space missions and to deal with space debris. The autonomous technology will be deployed in snake-like robots and will have a great deal of manipulability, perceiving their environment through built-in cameras.

CASE STUDY: SATELLITES AND SPACE DEBRIS

University of Surrey research has found that Europe is losing out on as much as €142 billion every year due to poor infrastructure, services and attitudes towards travellers with special access needs. The European Commission-funded research found that travellers within the EU who required special access (whether through disability or age) undertook 783 million trips within the region in 2012, contributing €394 billion and 8.7 million jobs to the European economy. However, if European destinations were fully accessible, this demand could increase by up to 44 per cent a year – producing an additional €142 billion GDP and creating 3.4 million jobs.

Surrey means business

Appointment of Director of Estates and Facilities Management | 2015

The University of Surrey, along with the University of Strathclyde, has been selected to enter into a partnership with the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) to set a new strategic direction for the world-renowned National Physical Laboratory (NPL), a global centre of excellence in measurement science.

SURREY PARTNERS WITH THE NATIONAL PHYSICAL LABORATORY

An economic impact study (conducted in autumn 2014 by BiGGAR Economics) found that the University of Surrey and the Surrey Research Park generated around £1.5 billion Gross Value Added for the UK economy in 2013/14. The study revealed that the University and Research Park directly or indirectly supported more than 17,000 jobs – 10,600 of which were based in Guildford.

ECONOMIC IMPACT

The University has been incubating technology businesses since 2002, when along with Bath, Bristol and Southampton Universities we founded the SETsquared Partnership. Since then, Exeter University joined (2011) and the Partnership has directly supported over 650 companies, helping them raise over £0.75 billion and creating over 1,000 new jobs. It has also been ranked by the University Business Incubator Index (UBI) as number one Incubator in Europe and second in the World 2014.

NUMBER ONE BUSINESS INCUBATOR IN EUROPE

The Research Park is home to over 140 companies with many specialising in social sciences, technologies, health-related activities and engineering. Since it was opened in 1985, the Park has helped over 500 companies – some of which were newly established businesses and are now world leaders in their field.

Today, the companies on the park employ more than 3,500 highly qualified staff, some of whom are recruited from within Surrey.

SURREY RESEARCH PARK

A consortium of key global players has pledged support of £58 million for our 5G Innovation Centre programme in addition to the £11.6 million awarded by the HEFCE.

Appointment of Director of Estates and Facilities Management | 2015 The corporate strategy of the University

The University of Surrey is an international University with a worldwide reputation for excellence in teaching and research. We welcome over 14,000 students and employ around 2,500 members of staff.

The corporate strategy of the University

Our Mission The University of Surrey is a research-led institution pursuing learning, scholarship and research that advances and disseminates knowledge. The University is committed to working closely with its students, business, government and civil society to transition knowledge to the benefit of humanity.

Our Values Surrey inspires people to achieve wonderful things. A number of core attributes have been identified which have shaped and continue to influence Surrey and drive our progress. These values of innovation, passion, collaboration, openness and curiosity have been instrumental in Surrey’s rise to a leading market position.

To continue to attract the best staff and students, we must demonstrate an ongoing commitment to equality and diversity, and ensure the richness and diversity of society is reflected and celebrated within our institution. This understanding and openness to embracing other cultures and considering equality issues across a broad spectrum is vital in order for the University to position itself as both a successful national and international institution.

The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion strategy is aligned with other key staff and student strategies. Engagement, Equality and Culture is a strategic priority area within the HR strategy 2014-2017, and the Teaching and Learning strategy 2010-17 underlines the University’s commitment ‘to promote equality in all its activities and aims to provide learning and teaching environments free from discrimination and unfair treatment’.

The Widening Participation and Outreach strategy is also an important dimension of the University’s work in raising aspirations and attainment for students from a range of backgrounds, particularly those from non-traditional, under-represented groups and students with differing needs.

Our Vision

The University of Surrey is committed to being a leading national and international University. Our high-quality teaching, learning, research and enterprise will be delivered in a financially and environmentally sustainable manner, within an academic community that values collegiality and professionalism, providing our students with skills that allow them to maximise their potential.

The University’s Strategic Plan for 2011-2017 identifies six strategic imperatives which encapsulate what we will do to achieve this vision:

» Quality: underpinning teaching, learning, research, scholarship, the experience we offer our students and our staff, enterprise, collaboration and the transition of new knowledge into economic and social value

» International Impact: aiming to be a leading national and international University, growing our activity and influence overseas as well as in the UK and Europe

» Distinctiveness: developing our strengths and defining our leading position, building particularly on our students’ high levels of employability and participation in the Professional Training programme

» Collegiality: nurturing our students and staff, encouraging a culture of respect and developing a life-long relationship with alumni and staff

» Professionalism: having the highest expectations, mutually shared between the University, our staff and students and a community engaged in a common purpose, striving for professionalism, ethical working methods and standards of excellence

» Sustainability: especially through effective financial management and using our endowment wisely to support strategic academic and enterprise ventures achieved whilst responsibly improving our environmental sustainability

13University of Surrey

In a fiercely competitive international and national Higher Education environment, quality is the key to success. The University must continue to attract the best staff and students, and sustain its funding base; this means that we must ensure quality underpins everything that we do in the University.

Appointment of Director of Estates and Facilities Management | 2015 Student and staff profiles

I came to the University of Surrey from Helsinki in Finland, after completing the International Baccalaureate.

The teaching and learning culture at Surrey has given me a deeper interest in my field of study – and my course has made me far more analytical of the current environment and my surroundings. Meeting and working with people from different backgrounds, cultures and university courses has made me much more curious about the world.

Surrey encourages students to be the best they can be, both academically and socially, and they offer you countless opportunities to help you develop yourself professionally (careers service, talks and fairs, company visits, placements and so on) as well as personally, and will actively support you every step of the way.

Jennifer Jacobsen BSc (Hons) Business and Retail Management

THE F IRST YEAR —NEW WAYS OF LEARNING

I chose the University of Surrey because it’s one of the best in the UK for bioscience degrees.

Working with my tutors has been fantastic – and having a personal tutor with such a passion for their subject has helped me to stay focused. All of the academics provide a solid support system – I’ve had lots of help from them since I started here, especially in terms of time management, and they’ve given me plenty of feedback and advice on my work.

Being taught by lecturers who are well known in their fields is a major plus point too, and I’ve really enjoyed the practical work. Meeting so many different people has been a life-changing experience.

Ashleigh ThompsonBSc (Hons) Biomedical Science

THE SECOND YEAR —STUDYING HARD

My three years at Surrey have really opened my eyes to different aspects of the world – I feel driven to explore it even more.

During my third-year placement, I worked as the Marketing and Media Manager for the Hilton Buenavista Toldeo in Spain. I secured the job with help from my tutors, who arranged an interview with the company, helped me to write my CV in Spanish and offered me mock interviews so I could practise. The best thing about my placement was the improvement in my Spanish.

The teaching at Surrey is excellent and has changed the way I think about and approach things. I had never studied Spanish before coming here but in the space of three years I can speak it fluently, which is a real credit to the dedication of my tutors.

Daniel LittmanBSc (Hons) Business Management and Spanish

THE THIRD YEAR —PROFESS IONAL PLACEMENT

During my four years at Surrey, I found the culture of encouraging innovation amongst students to be really strong.

For my final-year project, I decided to create a mobile app for the University, including features I would have found useful as a student. I worked with tutors who were also passionate about mobile app technology, and discussed my ideas with them. They gave me really valuable input, and collaborating with them throughout the project was incredibly helpful.

The academic staff and the teaching environment at Surrey introduced me to new ways of thinking during my time there. Choosing to study at Surrey was a life-changing decision for me, and has set me up for a great career.

The estate is primarily two campus sites, Manor Park and Stag Hill which are within 1.5km of each other. The majority of the estate was constructed between 1966 and 1975 and its condition is generally good, with all of the buildings having gone through one complete regeneration. The external infrastructure is ageing and there is a need to plan for gradual replacement.

The University owns the Surrey Research Park and approximately 600 acres of farmland and woodland which is currently subject to review for potential housing development. The estate development plan has achieved outline planning permission for a further 200,000sqm of potential development on the Manor Park campus for residential, academic, support and sport activity.

The Estates and Facilities Management department is an important part of the University and works closely with all other areas of the University. EFM must understand both current and future plans for all university academic and non-academic areas and provide advice and services to support them and ensure that the Estate Strategy and improvement programmes are coordinated with these.
