Our Buildings
Our teams are responsible for keeping all our campus buildings running smoothly.
Across our campuses, we take care of over 85 buildings. Five of these are listed buildings, with Singleton Abbey dating back to 1784. We run 15 catering outlets, service over ten different sports facilities across our Swansea Bay Sports Park and manage at least ten residential buildings.
We aim to maintain our buildings and facilities to the highest possible standard, whilst working towards ambitious safety, sustainability and accessibility goals.
Heating Our Buildings
In line with our commitment to being zero carbon by 2035, we heat our buildings from 1 October through to 30 April each year. You can read our heating and comfort policy here.
Our Commitment to Accessibility
We are committed to making our campuses accessible to everyone and want you to be able to use our facilities and services with ease and confidence.
With the aim of creating an inclusive campus that is welcoming to all, we recently carried out a comprehensive accessibility audit to help us identify areas where we can do better. Following this audit, we’ve made a number of improvements, including upgrades to key buildings, facilities, car parks and pathways to remove physical barriers. We are also investing in clear, up-to-date accessibility guides, which we will embed on these webpages to help you navigate our campuses comfortably.
Looking ahead, we are committed to introducing further phased improvements to ensure our buildings and campuses continue to meet the highest possible standards of accessibility.
If you have any feedback or suggestions in the meantime on how we can improve accessibility across our estate, you can email us at: campusdevelopment@swansea.ac.uk.
