Key areas of feedback have related to both the physical masterplan and some of the long term activities and opportunities of the university. t this stage, feedback will help inform the emerging masterplan. It will also act as a reference for later stages of the project that can be developed once a masterplan is agreed. Feedback ll comments have been considered, each categorised by the topic it references. In total we have collected 2,324 comments from anvass ards, asterplan vent table-sheets, Big Ideas ap, heel of Fortune, alkabout sheets and s. ave inclusive, involving and inviting public space that embraces learning and exchange for all - with intuitive and clear routes and levels of access. nsure welcoming pedestrian and cycle access with an iconic front door linking local routes. ontfichet oad is currently a poor pedestrian experience. ave a community-facing university with visible public access balanced with security needs and expectations of paying students.

Key findings from the first stage of engagement will be recapped, alongside a clear explanation of how the masterplan has been informed by consultation. tage 3 tage 3 will present the final masterplan that will form the basis of the next stage of detail design. It will track how the plans have responded to consultation and provide recommendations for the detailed design process; as well as information about the next steps leading into the lympicopolis planning applications.
