Would you like some support? Developing new academic workspaces is a rewarding but challenging experience. Our experience suggests that the following are critical to a successful project:

• An ability to understand and articulate user requirements
• Clarity over accountabilities and responsibilities
• Good dialogue and communication between stakeholders
• An ability to manage conflicting demands
• Timely decision-making

We use our knowledge and experience to help academic institutions to design and deliver efficient and effective academic workspaces. Areas in which we provide support include:

• Developing business cases, project briefs and funding applications
• Engaging with end users and other stakeholders
• Acting as a mentor or critical friend at different stages of the project
• Space budgeting, planning and management
• Training and development for space champions and project sponsors
