The Higher Education Policy Institute is today publishing a case study on the University of Northampton’s Waterside relocation, written by the Vice-Chancellor who led the transformation and two of his senior colleagues.
In University of Northampton: Waterside Story (HEPI Debate Paper 35), Nick Petford, Robert Griggs and Terry Neville OBE:
- explain the background and philosophy underpinning one of the largest university relocation and change projects;
- show how the project was funded and managed, as well as how digital transformation enabled a new learning and teaching delivery model; and
- recommend lessons for educational establishments looking to implement large-scale change-management projects.
The Report includes a Foreword by Sir John Armitt CBE FREng FICE, Chair of the UK’s National Infrastructure Commission, as well as a Preface by Kishwer Falkner, Baroness Falkner of Margravine and former Chancellor of the University of Northampton.
