AUDE has published its annual Higher Education Estates Management Report (‘the EMR’) 2023, using data from August 2021 to July 2022. It is the best and most considered analysis that UK universities have to help them make the right long-term strategic decisions about their estates. Estates Directors use the report to benchmark estates activity, and for the facts and accurate data that support the biggest choices about future investment. If you have any questions regarding the EMR contact cheryl@aude.ac.uk.
Date: August 19th
Time: 10am – 11am
Venue: Online Teams

Introducing AUDE's new business partner, Provelio
Title: Digitising the estate: where do we start?
Synopsis: Through utilising existing data sets Provelio will demonstrate how you can begin to transform your estate into a digital estate. The webinar will focus on:
With the publication of the new 'Cost of Net Zero' report and accompanying cost calculator tool, university estates directors not only have a means to calculate the overall likely cost of bringing the estate to net zero carbon, but a checklist of the kinds of activity that will need to be prioritised. As society changes we must lead that change, for instance in our support for lower carbon cost transport, electrification and the decarbonisation of the electricity supply. For those who haven’t yet started down this path, this is a good place to start, including for those who don’t want the expense of external consultancy support. For those that already have a map of where they are going and how much it will costs them this will help them sense check along the way.
Our new publication ‘The use and impact of technology on FM service provision in universities’, is the report of the July 2023 roundtable discussion held with colleagues from our Strategic Facilities Management Group (led by Lucy Black of the University of Plymouth), and representatives from partner organisations including Sodexo, OCS and Skanska. As Lucy Black explains in the document, ‘the Strategic FM group within AUDE commissioned a review into the use of technology in delivering FM services in the Higher Education sector.’ The roundtable event looked at three main headings, namely FM service delivery challenges; the development of new technologies; and their subsequent adoption.
AUDE set the brief on managing social and informal learning spaces (S&ILS) in the context of what AUDE’s members need to consider.
