CAMPUS PLAN 2030

BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF CAMPUS VISION AND IMPACT TARGETS We obtained our Work-Integrated Learning (WIL) status because we are open, inclusive and collaborate with the surrounding community. We are a centre of learning where academia, work and society converge. It is this interaction – mutual collaboration – that gives rise to insight, knowl-

edge and development. Our future campus shall facilitate and reinforce this approach. Collaboration is a condition of WIL. Collaboration is contingent on interaction. This is why interaction lies at the heart of the campus vision.

CAMPUS VISION A campus where interaction is created, bringing together knowledge, ideas, culture and people. Our campus is a creative and inspiring environment for lifelong learning and multi-disciplinary collaboration. It forges interaction between academia, working life and the surrounding community to collectively create knowledge and development. Our campus publicises research and progress achieved in an accessible, inclusive way. It is an inviting place, where everyone feels welcome.

IMPACT TARGETS Visualisation of the future campus square, with green spaces and areas for service, meetings and social interaction.

A creative, flexible campus

A vibrant, accessible campus

A green, sustainable campus

Our campus provides a stimulating and innovative educational environment, both physical and digital, for teaching, research and other activities.

Our premises are flexible, and we use modern technology to effectively and creatively cooperate with our partners within academia, business and the community. Our campus creates an environment that enables and stimulates increased collaboration and integration between education and research, between different fields of knowledge, between different working units and with the surrounding community.

Our campus bustles with life and activity during a large part of the day, seven days a week. This is a safe, dynamic and inspiring place to be, where there’s always something going on. Students, employees, partners and other visitors enjoy spending time here to gain energy, inspiration and knowledge. This is an inclusive, accessible campus which raises the profile of our activities, as well as those of our partners.

We have a green campus, both when it comes to sustainability and access to greenery, vegetation and pleasant recreational environments. In the campus area there are plenty of green spaces in which to study, work and spend time in, both indoors and out. Our campus is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable, we consume and produce energy in smart ways and take an innovative, considered approach to the use of resources and materials.
