2. CONTEXTSwansea University was founded in 1920 at Singleton Park. The estate has since expanded. As well as the 21 hectare campus at Singleton,there is the student village at Hendrefoelan, sports facilities at Sketty Lane and playing fields at Fairwood.The University now has in the region of 2,000employees and some 12,650 FTE students based onthe Singleton Campus (Park Campus). It is undergoingrapid research-led growth. Long established strengths inEngineering and Physical Sciences are complementedby the Institute of Life Science (ILS), Europe’s first Centreof Nano-health and the Institute of AdvancedTelecommunications (IAT). The Park Campus has limitedcapacity, however, for further growth and expansion.It is in need of updating and investment. Some 60 percent of the campus was built in the 1960s and13 per cent pre the 1960s.Transformational changes are planned in the Universityestate over the next planning period to support theUniversity’s stated vision and mission in the StrategicPlan 2009-2014. The University’s decision to securea complementary campus, the Bay Science andInnovation Campus (Bay Campus) at Fabian Way,will relieve pressure on existing facilities and providethe opportunity to upgrade the Park Campus as well asachieving a step change in the University’s commitmentas a powerhouse for growth in the regional economy.This integrated Estate Strategy recognises the BayCampus as the enabling element of the consequentialchanges and enhancements to the Park Campus.Furthermore, this Estate Strategy is a living documentand presents a direction of travel for the newlycombined estate. Revisions to support any furtherinstitutional strategic change, including furtherintegration of the Bay Campus as it evolves willbe undertaken on a periodic basis.By late 2013, the goal is for Phase One of the BayCampus to be complete, and for the School ofEngineering, the School of Business and Economicsand international activities (through the InternationalCollege Wales Swansea - ICWS ) to relocate to newpurpose built accommodation. This will be followed inPhase Two by the move of elements of the School ofPhysical Sciences, (Computing Science andMathematics) and English Language Training Services(ELTS). These moves will support the development of theInnovation Hub and its role in delivering economy ledeconomic development and regional regeneration.Over this time, the Park Campus will be upgraded andadapted to meet the University’s agenda for changeand to provide the long term base for the Schools ofArts and the Humanities, Human and Health Sciences,Law, Medicine, Physics and Environment and Society(SOTEAS.) It will also facilitate the continueddevelopment of the Innovation Hub for Life Science,building on the Life Science 1 (ILS1) and ILS2 deliverymodel of integration between commercialisation andbusiness incubation linked with interdisciplinaryresearch activity in Human and Health Sciences,Engineering and Nano-health.3. THE EXISTING SINGLETON ESTATEThe University’s current non-residential Singleton estate has a gross internal area (GIA) of just under 122,000m². The total net internal area (NIA),excluding spaces such as circulation areas, is some 81,700m². All the buildings are on the Park Campus apart from sports facilities at The Sketty LaneSports Village. The composition and layout of the Singleton Campus is shown in Figure 1 opposite. This also houses the Life Science Innovation Hub.09
