  • Student Accommodation Survey 2019-20
    Residential and Business Services Friday, 20 December 2019 Student Accommodation Survey 2019-20 John Burnet Hall Introduction: This report is based on the responses collected from the November 2019 Student Accommodation Survey. In analysing the results, the ‘not applicable’ responses were removed to provide an accurate breakdown of responses. To ensure easy analysis of information in the bar and pie charts, the very satisfied and satisfied responses have been combined to represent overall satisfaction. Likewise, the dissatisfied and strongly dissatisfied responses have been combined to represent overall dissatisfaction. The individual breakdown of responses has been preserved in the separate survey reports. Average results have been calculated for each category and are presented alongside the individual responses to the category questions for ease of reference. The survey results showed a notable difference in International student satisfaction compared to Home/EU student satisfaction, therefore the overall satisfaction and catering satisfaction categories are broken down further and also presented by Home/EU and International satisfaction.

  • University of St Andrews Carbon Management Plan Cmp 2011
    UNIVERSITY OF ST ANDREWS CARBON MANAGEMENT PLAN CMP 2011 - 2016 Date: Nov 2012 Version number: v0.3 Owner: Roddy Yarr Approval route: Sustainability Policy Group Next revision due: Feb 2013 Original document June 2011 Revision v0.2 Feb 2012 Typographical updates Revision v0.3 Nov 2012 Clarification of utilities management target i Foreword from Principal This Plan for carbon management over the next 5 years represents a commitment from the University to make improvements across a range of key areas. The plan is aligned to the University’s Strategic Plan and supports the existing Sustainable Development Policy and Strategy which recognises the need to reduce carbon emissions in order to become more sustainable. Since the University started to understand its ‘carbon footprint’, there has been a significant increase in the awareness of staff and students. By working together, the analysis and identification of ways by which this ‘footprint’ can and will be reduced will enable the University to continue to provide exceptional teaching and research in ever more sustainable ways. Changing the way we do things won’t happen overnight. To achieve these changes will take time, and effective communication and engagement is key. As an institution that is renowned worldwide for excellence in teaching and research, the University also aims to be at the forefront in demonstrating working practices that integrate environmental, social and economic issues. Achieving sustainable development rests with us all. Each of us has a contribution to make, and the consequence will be a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable environment for everyone in St Andrews. I commend this plan and its aims and objectives to you and encourage you to become involved in this exciting endeavour.

  • Scotland: Building for the Future
    Scotland: Building for the Future Scotland: Building for the Future In post-war Scotland there was a belief among key decision-makers that the world could be made better by design. New homes, schools and churches – even entire new towns – could be planned, designed and built for the benefit of all. Modernism in architecture and design were closely linked with this widespread faith in reconstruction. Architects and architecture were at the centre of this national effort, as they had been for at least 250 years. Scotland had specialised in new towns and a ‘rational’ approach to development and improvement, and there is a strong echo of the work of Robert Adam and Edinburgh New Town in the ‘age of improvement’ of the post-war period.
