Project Management

Infrastructure
The best way to explain infrastructure is that it is all of the unseen systems, equipment and appliances that keep the University running effectively. This includes gas and water pipework, power supplies and much more.

Energy
Our aim is to implement our Energy Management Strategy as well as leading both practical projects and behavioural change programs.
