Swansea University Estates Strategy

10. PERFORMANCE OF THE SINGLETON ESTATEAn assessment of the performance of the estate highlights the following:• The size of the Singleton non-residential estate willincrease from some 81,700m² to just under 86,000m²with the completion of ILS2 planned for 2011.• There are relatively few recently constructed buildingson the campus, however, and the 2009 conditionsurvey highlighted the poor condition of much ofthe estate. Most of the buildings are classifiedas Condition Code C (where major repair orreplacement of elements will be needed in the shortto medium term). The performance assessmentof individual buildings identified the following aspriorities for action as a result of their poor condition,functional suitability and/or the amount of spacelikely to become vacant within them post relocationsto the Bay Campus:• The number of listed buildings across the campusconstrains future flexibility, particularly Fulton Housein view of its large size and central location.• Capacity for additional development is limitedgiven that the campus is developed to a relativelyhigh density over the much of its area, withsubstantial parts of the remaining open area subjectto protective planning designations. Developmentconstraints are illustrated in Figure 6 opposite.• Given these limitations, it will continue to be importantto make effective and efficient use of the estate.• Sustainability, energy efficiency and carbonmanagement will play an important role in the futureacross a range of estates planning and managementissues. The disposal of Hendrefoelan Student Villagelinked to the construction of the new residenceson the Bay Campus provides an opportunity tocontribute to funding the delivery of the University’sstrategic objectives for the estate.➢ The Mosque➢ Vivian Tower➢ Union House➢ Talbot➢ Fulton House➢ Taliesin Annexe21
