THE UNIVERSITY OF CUMBRIA LANCASTER CAMPUS MASTERPLAN 2014 - 2024

DRAFT REV 02 JOHN McASLAN + PARTNERS | JULY 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY John McAslan + Partners are pleased to present this Section 8 describes the phased development masterplan proposal for the University of Cumbria programme for the campus over a ten year period and (“The University”) Lancaster Campus (2012 – 2024). the budget.

The University’s Lancaster Estate is situated to the Relevant Appendices are contained at the end of this south east of Lancaster and was the former home document including a proposed Zonal Masterplan. to the Bowerham Barracks (1880-1959) and St. Martin’s College of Education (established in 1964). The existing Barracks buildings (1880), The Harold Bridges Library (1976) and The Chapel (1967) contribute to the character of the campus today. The site has distinctive features including a large portion of green amenity space and mature landscape and from certain locations provides fi ne views across Lancaster reaching out to Morecambe Bay.

The campus has several site constraints which will be addressed in this document including many poor, dysfunctional and unused buildings situated on the site. The University has asked John McAslan + Partners to create a new masterplan for the campus and expressed the need to clear redundant building stock at the site and consolidate the campus to reduce maintenance back log. In part this will provide future development opportunities for new purpose built academic and residential estate.

An aspiration to raise future revenue for the University is considered in the masterplan through the proposal to dispose or redevelop surplus land, improving student accommodation to meet market expectations and through consolidation of the campus to reduce overall maintenance costs and energy use.

Creating a sense of place is a primary theme within the masterplan. Revealing the existing character and heritage of the site will bring clarity to the campus. The masterplan presents opportunities to enhance and reinforce existing spaces, construct new landscape squares and social areas and create an improved environment in which to live, work and study.

Section 1 of this document is an introduction to the masterplan, the University, the Bowerham Road campus and the brief.

Section 2 presents the aims and objectives of the brief identifi ed by the University and delineates the key issues to be addressed within the brief.

Contextual analysis undertaken is illustrated in Section 3 including the existing physical and statutory context.

The historical development of the site from the establishment of the Bowerman Barracks to the present day is described in Section 4.

Section 5 includes a summary of the campus analysis undertaken and existing site constraints to be addressed in the masterplan proposals.

Within Section 6, the proposed masterplan is presented. The location of two disposal sites for future development opportunities are also illustrated along with on campus development plots for the University.

Section 7 describes the key projects recommended within the masterplan in more detail.

July 2014 | University of Cumbria - Lancaster Campus Masterplan | 2014 - 2024 | John McAslan + Partners | 21 6.0 MASTERPLAN CONCEPT

The proposed masterplan seeks to consolidate the University campus and create three academic districts. The main existing entrance approach is retained as a well defi ned, prominent route into the campus along a mature tree lined avenue. The campus has extensive landscape and amenity space to the north of the site including sports facilities and pitches. It is proposed that this vast swathe of amenity space is retained and the core of the academic campus be developed as a distinct urban hub within the southern portion of the site. The majority of new academic plots have therefore been proposed to the south of the campus. ResiResid An academic district to the north of the site will be clustered around a new central quad, promoting active building frontages and an enhanced sense of activity.

A new southern entrance and pedestrian avenue is proposed off Coulston Road leading through into a southern academic district comprising of new buildings and landscaped squares. The position of this district seeks to enhance the identity of the University from the public realm.

The existing western academic district is retained and will include a new public square and refurbishment of the William Thompson Tower.

Council Draft Local List of Heritage Assets. There is future fl exibility in the use of these buildings as all have capacity to be reconfi gured to academic or residential facilities. New academic plots are defi ned in the masterplan for potential future expansion. Refurbishment is proposed to the William Thompson Tower. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT The future ten year phasing schedule is described in more detail later in this report. A fi rst phase academic plot is proposed in the centre of the campus at the top of the new southern route and opposite the main academic quad; the intention being future development could expand out from this point. REVENUE GENERATION Up to three disposal sites are proposed to be sold off for private, retail or student residential to market requirements. Alternatively these sites could be retained by the University for re-development. Barbon and Hornby (former barracks married quarters) together with college stock are proposed to be retained on the southern disposal site and have the potential to be converted back into residential buildings. The art studio could be reconfi gured to house new retail facilities.

The composition of the masterplan will be defi ned in the next section and following this the key projects within the masterplan described in more detail including: • Main Academic Quad • New Academic Avenue and Southern Gateway • Refurbishment of William Thompson Tower and New Public Square.

HERITAGE The proposed retained heritage buildings are those included on the Lancaster City Council Draft Local List of Heritage Assets: The Chapel, College Main, College North, College South, The Harold Bridges Library, The Keep, The Boundary Wall (all within the masterplan campus) and The Art Studio and Barbon (contained within the southern disposal site). The masterplan includes the refurbishment of the Harold Bridges Library and the reconfi guration of College North and South for academic use. Barbon and Hornby have potential to be converted into residential buildings as part of a new development on the southern disposal site or alternatively could be demolished or retained by the University to form new student halls of residence as part of future re-development. Removal of poor quality temporary buildings and extensions bring back clarity to the existing building stock and character of the campus.

Within the north quadrant of the campus a new academic quad is proposed. The scheme includes the removal of Bishop’s Cross to open up the quad to the new Southern Gateway. The removal of Bishop’s Cross would reveal the original form of historically signifi cant building; The Keep. The new landscaped quad will heighten recreational space providing a hub and place of focus within this portion of the campus. Facing onto the quad is College Main, a new academic building, Askwith, The Keep, The Harold Bridges Library (to be refurbished) and Alexandra Phase 1 and 2. Entrances into Alexandra Phase 1 and 2 are proposed to be reconfi gured to face the quad which will heighten circulation and activity across and within the quad. There is also potential to relocate the cafe within the Gallery of Alexandra Phase 2 allowing the cafe seating to extend out into the quad space in the summer.

A new pedestrian entrance into the campus is proposed from Coulston Road. This would lead to a new square, raising the University’s visibility from the south of the site. The entrance will provide a clear route into the heart of the campus connecting to a new academic avenue. The existing barrack building, College North, is proposed to be reconfi gured and new building plots anticipated opposite to accommodate for potential future academic expansion. A new square and recreational space is proposed in this southern district. The site immediately adjacent to Coulston Road, including College South, is identifi ed as a potential disposal site. Alternatively this could be retained and developed by the university for new academic buildings.

The Rider Levett Bucknall Lancaster Campus building analysis survey describes the existing student residential William Thompson Tower to the west of the campus as ‘unfi t for purpose’. It is proposed that the building should be refurbished in the masterplan. The tower provides signifi cant views across Lancaster and its refurbishment should bring the student accommodation up to market standards and create a pleasant living environment on Campus. New en-suite bathrooms are proposed to be provided along with fully accessible bedrooms and living accommodation. A new square is planned outside the residential tower creating a focus to this western district. Controlled maintenance vehicle access is proposed to cross the square when access is required to the Primary Curriculum and Secondary Centre.

In addition, many with offi cers of Lancaster City Council during the other buildings and structures contribute to the preparation of this masterplan. Lancaster City special local character of Lancaster District that Council’s Planning Policy sets the foundation for do not meet the strict criteria for statutory listing. development options within the campus, in the In response to this, a criteria for a List for local context of adopted and emerging policy documents. Heritage Assets has been developed and some of the University’s buildings have been included within The Council’s Core Strategy adopted in 2008 this. outlines a spatial vision of a sustainable District, comprising a prosperous knowledge-based City, a The University will continue to work closely with regenerated Coast and a conserved Countryside. Lancaster City Council’s conservation team concerning the detail required to support any The University of Cumbria plays an integral role in planning applications as these come forward in the realising this vision. future. CORE STRATEGY POLICY ER 1 Purpose: To maximise the regeneration benefi ts to Lancaster District of growth at Lancaster University and the University of Cumbria.

Through the preparation of Local Development Documents, the Council will seek to maximise the economic benefi ts of the Higher Education sector and seek to spread its impacts to areas of deprivation. Specifi c to the University of Cumbria, this policy seeks to:

• Introduce a masterplanned approach to the campus involving local communities; • Develop a Travel Plan for the institution; • Concentrate new student accommodation on campus where possible, and failing that in locations with good public transport, walking and cycling links to the institution; • Bring the benefi ts of university expansion to target communities through better transport links.

Consultation with the local community is an important part of this policy and members of the public will be given an opportunity to comment on the draft documents. The policy fi ts entirely with the spirit of the University which sees its campus as being an important part of the local community.

LAND ALLOCATIONS DEVELOPMENT PLAN DOCUMENT The Land Allocations Development Plan Document (DPD) will have site, location and area specifi c policies. It will identify areas for development as well as areas which should be protected from development. This document will direct where homes, employment land, services and future investment will go in the district over the next 15 years.

It is intended that a specifi c policy will be drafted for the University’s campus in Lancaster. The zonal masterplan and parameters for development will ultimately be allied to this policy and become a material planning consideration as the University brings forward detailed planning applications for new development within the campus.
